Informatics Philippines is offering courses for students and professionals who want to get world-class skills in the shortest time. The school provides higher education in the fields of Information Technology and business, offering one-year or two-year diploma programs or bachelor degree programs which run for three or four years.

The school adopts the British system of education for its courses – its unique Ladderized Program allows students to acquire specialized skills in IT as early as their first year of study. A certificate of completion is awarded after every year, qualifying students to work immediately. A student can become a junior programmer or IT practitioner after his first year at Informatics. Each additional year will provide higher qualifications and more advanced skills that will pave the way for a high-end IT career in his chosen field. A student also has the option to take international exams every term in order to earn an international diploma when they graduate – this is validated by the National Computing Center (NCC) from Manchester, UK.

“Our Ladderized System helps students to be employed immediately or get part-time jobs while they are finishing their education. This is education you don’t just get anywhere,” enthuses Leo A. Riingen, Informatics President & CEO. “For us, an Informatics education is not just a great product, but it’s our way of empowering and enriching the lives of Filipino youth,” he adds. “With our system of education, by the time they graduate, the student can already be paying for his own tuition with a good-paying IT job. In as short as several months the students will have already earned back the same amount he spent as tuition for his degree.” Informatics Philippines, a franchise of the Informatics global group based in Singapore, is part of a network of more than 100 schools operating in 21 countries around the world.

Informatics International College dominated the recently concluded badminton division, garnering the following awards: champion, men’s singles; champion, men’s doubles; 2nd place, mixed doubles; and 4th place, ladies doubles. “We’re very proud of our students,” says Informatics VP Stephen Bañares. “I’m happy to see that they are not just excelling in academics, but also in sports.” The Informatics badminton team is composed of the following members: Paul Kaiser “PK” dela Cruz, Prince John Sidney de Jesus, Carleans Rivas, and Derlyn Llena. PK dela Cruz was last season’s men’s singles champion, while this season’s title was won by Prince de Jesus. The team is coached by Ramil Billones.

With the center’s support to TESDA, staff, students and OJT’s will be joining the motorcade while some will serve as encoder’s during the said event.

This is part of our mission to educate and train global citizens to make them effective and competent contributors to society.

With Globe’s Campus Connect, Informatics Northgate is able to communicate fast important announcements (i.e. class suspension, highlighted events, tuition fee payment deadlines, release of grades, birthday greetings, etc.) to students, parents and/or faculty and staff.

Sending text messages to students made easy

Our students and their parents used to rely on radio and TV news for announcements of class suspensions during heavy rains and typhoons. When they couldn’t get news from any media source, they would have to wait until 7 AM to call the school to confirm cancellation of classes. Then it would be too late. Moreover, faculty and staff are deluged with text messages with the same inquiry which sometimes caused confusion with so many people giving out information. But not anymore.

Students and parents are now assured that the school would send text messages of important announcements as soon as these are made available by the proper authorities – Local Government Units and/or Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

Globe’s Campus Connect is online. Informatics’ designated personnel can access the facility anytime, anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection. Thus, members of Informatics Northgate community will receive real-time information. Furthermore, students and parents can communicate with the school via text through this program.

Students have access to centralized information desk.

This Informatics Northgate and Globe Telecom partnership was formalized at the opening of the current school year. This started with only a handful of student subscribers, but seeing the value of Campus Connect, more and more students and parents are now connecting with us. This facility is free for all Globe users. However, non-Globe users receive  announcements through their classmates and friends with Globe mobile subscription. It is indeed communicating beyond boundaries, beyond networks.
