CHED Center of Development in ITE

TIP Manila and TIP-QC are now CHED Centers of Development (CODs) in Information Technology Education (ITE) in the National Capital Region (NCR). CHED identified TIP Manila and TIP-QC as two of only five COD’s in the NCR. This means that TIP is one of the best Information Technology schools in the country today.

TIP, in its partnership with IBM leases a total of 1,120 computers. On top of 1,000 other TIP-owned computers, TIP has a total of 2,120 computers distributed among its campuses, giving a computer-student ratio of more than 1:1.

To maintain its competitiveness in the global ITE workplace, TIP offers two industry-designed and developed academic programs, the Cisco Networking Academy Program (CNAP) and the Oracle Academic Initiative Program (OAIP).

Completing either of these two programs gives TIP students an immediate edge by equipping them with skills sought after in the global IT industry, and more importantly, it qualifies them to take the matching Industry Standard Certification Tests.. Passing these tests makes them certified professionals in a specific field of technology such as networking (CNAP), or database administration, and applications development (OAIP).

PACUCOA-Accredited

TIP has various accreditation levels for it different program offerings under the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation/ Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (PACUCOA / FAAP).

In 2006, TIP was awarded by the PACUCOA under Category A as one of the top five schools with the highest number of accredited programs without majors: TIP Manila was Number 1 with 11 accredited programs while TIP Quezon City was Number 2 with 10 accredited programs.

In 2007, TIP Manila was a special awardee of the PACUCOA as the school with the highest number of Level I and Level II accredited programs.-?-

ISO-Certified

TIP is one of select schools with Quality Management System certified compliant to the international standard ISO 9001:2000 by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The certification covers the entire operation and services of the institution’s provision of tertiary education in engineering, architecture, business, information and communications technology, and maritime education including training for the national and international industry.

In order to foster this commitment and the practice of continual improvement in all work places in the School, TIP encourages everyone in the school community to actively participate in the Kaizen Circles (KC) Program designed to achieve continuous improvement of work involving everyone through the organized efforts and activities of small groups working together to attain an improvement objective.
