Diliman Computer Technology Institute or DCTI, the IT arm of the Diliman Foundation, Inc., offers new courses this year.

New four-year courses are the Bachelor of Elementary Education and Bachelor of Secondary Education degrees while the new two-year course is the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree.

Short term courses that will be offered starting this year are Programming and CIV, computer hardware servicing, bookkeeping, and a finishing course for call centers.
DCTI, established in 1998, is the country’s only Open Source training and certification institute authorized by the Open Source Technology Association of the Philippines to conduct programs, offer courses, issue certifications to qualified practitioners, promote free Open Source software in the Philippines and market the training programs to students and corporate clients.
Its existing courses include Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (4 years) and Associate in Computer Technology (2 years).

In partnership with Unitech Educational Program Corporation, DCTI had its first batch of graduates last February with 250 students successfully finishing the Computer Literacy Training Program, the first of DCTI and Unitech’s Community Services and Relations projects. With the initiative of Diliman Educational Corporation president Nikki Coseteng, DCTI and Unitech plan to bring the Computer Literacy Training Program to cities and municipalities in the country, especially the public high schools.
