The International Training Centre (ITC) was established on 1 July, 1999 by the Ministry of Interior with the primary goal to provide the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) and the Middle European Police Academy (MEPA) with logistical and personal support, service and hosting. After Hungary joined the European Union, the similar tasks arose concerning the European Police College (CEPOL). The other main activities of ITC were the recruitment and training of candidates for peacekeeping and civilian crisis management missions.

At the same time, ITC was also responsible for organizing special courses, further trainings, language trainings, conferences and seminars in Hungary and abroad. From 2005 ITC is an accredited adult education institution, and in 2006 it became an accredited language examination centre.

Although the recruitment and training of candidates for peacekeeping and civilian crisis management missions have been the task of ITC from the very beginning, this activity has become more and more complex during the years. This process has lead to the reorganization of ITC, which operates as International Training and Civilian Crisis Management Centre (ITCCMC) from 1 January, 2010 being a background institution of the Ministry of Justice and Law Enforcement. In the new organizational structure the Hungarian national offices of the three international academies are operating within the framework of International Training Department and the Department of Civilian Crisis Management and Peace Support is responsible for all the activities relating to peacekeeping. Division of Training and Coordination is in charge of mental-tactical trainings, language trainings, trainings in forensic laboratory and vocational training exams.
