AMA Education System (AMAES) started as an Institute of Computer Studies. Technology at a time when it was a new tool, both in the realms of education and business. But its founder, Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V, saw a vision of the Philippines as the world’s premier source of manpower through computer education, hence, he vigorously pursued his plan of setting up a center of computer learning in every corner of the Philippines.
A year later, an optimistic response from computer enthusiasts encouraged the institute to offer a four-year course in Computer Science – the first in the Philippines then – and was thus renamed AMA Computer College. In 1983, the institution grew into a network of colleges in Metro Manila.
By 1989, the AMAES began its provincial expansion by putting up a college campus in Cebu. Currently, there are 40 AMA colleges scattered all over the Philippines. Then, came the realization of the AMA Education System’s vision and mission – spearheading in providing computer education in the country.
With the desire to respond to the need for IT skilled workforce in the local and international community, and at the same time provide a specialized learning according to specific field of interests, AMA International Institute of Technology, AMA Computer Learning Center, ABE International College of Business and Economics, AMA School of Medicine and the Saint Augustine School of Nursing were installed by Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V, the father of computer education in the Philippines.
In 1999, AMA Computer College made another breakthrough – it became the first computer school to be awarded the prestigious ISO 9001 Certification and was later on conferred the honor of being the first Computer University in the Far East. This certification further attests to the world-class quality education that AMA offers.
