In 25 October 1978, the former Makati city council Oscar M. Ibay started DATAMEX computer tutorial services. The first campus was established in Cartimar Shopping Center, Taft Avenue, Pasay City and was followed by another campus in COBOL, Fortran, RPG, BASIC Language, Assemble Language and Pascal. The course leading to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Two Associate in Computer Secretarial Course.
In response to the growing need for quality Computer Education, a non-sectarian and stock educational institution was incorporated and registered in 1984 under the trade name of DATAMEX Computer School, which was eventually elevated to DATAMEX Computer College in 1993.
After having earned recognition from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Technical Education and Skills Development, DATAMEX Institute of Computer Technology went on to offer an undergraduate degree course in computer science as well as vocational-technical computer courses for Two-year Integrated Computer Programming, Two-year Integrated Hardware Servicing and Two-year Integrated Information Management.
With increasing demands for computer literacy to fill the needs of technological advancements, DATAMEX sought further approval from CHED and TESDA to offer additional courses such as Two-year Integrated Hotel and Restaurant Management, Two-year Integrated Health Care Service, Two-year Integrated Computer Animation, Three-year Ladderized short courses such as Caregiver, Call Center and many others that are expected to gain full recognition some time in the future.
For the past two decades, DATAMEX, a 100% Filipino owned Computer School, has successfully operated in the Philippines and takes pride in this fact as well as its relentless efforts for academic excellence. With the government’s accelerated economic recovery program, the demand for trained and skilled personnel is greater than ever before. We in DATAMEX plan to meet said demands through educating our students so they may one day join the labor force as shining examples of what an ideal worker should be, not only contributing to the economic growth of the Philippines, but also inspiring their peers to strive for greatness.
