The Humble Beginning ( STI - San Pedro History )



Systems Technology Institute - San Pedro was born from a vision in-lined with Information Technology education.   Seeing this vision, Mr. Cassius J. Ramirez, a man of indomitable determination, then started to materialized a venture together with his partner - Mr. Rossano G. Ordoņez.   The vision were also shared by six other members, who share their part on the plan and opted to become stockholders. These were : Mr. Eddie C.

Starting with only one (1) classroom, the school experienced the need for expansion for its student population dramatically grows to about 700 enrollees. These New Students were either enrolled in these two courses initially offered by the school : the Certificate in Applied Programming and the Office Productivity Application (OPA).

 

This impressive achievement earns STI - San Pedro the '1999 Rookie of the Year' award. As the number of enrollees progressively grows, the school that started being just a Training Center in 1998 offering short-term certificate courses, has grown and become an Education Center which is now permitted and capable of offering a two-year diploma courses.

To date, STI - San Pedro's goal of producing skillful and knowledgeable students was demonstrated in its three (3) batch of graduates who successfully finished their chosen courses.
