HISTORY
The AMA Group of Companies was built upon the dream of the late Amable M. Aguiluz Sr. (AMA) Auditor General and National Treasurer during the term of Diosdado Macapagal, to build an ins titution that would provide world - class education to the Filipino youth.
That dream bore fruit on October 20, 1980 when his son, Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V (ARA), established the AMA Institute of Computer Studies and thus blazed the trail for popular computer education in the country. Originally located along Shaw Boulevard, the pioneering school offered EDP Fundamentals, Basic Programming and Technology Career courses.
In June 1981, the AMA Computer College (AMACC) was launched with four - year degree course in BS Computer Science, the first to be offered in the country. From only 13, the student population of AMACC surged to 600 in 1983 and 2,000 in 1985. To meet the growing demand for computer courses, AMACC established its first campus in Makati in 1983. A second campus followed in 1986 in Project 8, Quezon City.
In 1987, the AMA Computer Learning Center (ACLC) was established to offer short courses in programming and two -year technical vocational courses. There are today 16 company-owned ACLC branches and more than 100 franchised learning centers.
In the same year, AMA Basic Education was formed to offer elementary, high school and eventually pre -school education. Now known as St. Augustine International School, it has eight (8) local branches located in Metro Manila, Laguna, Cebu City, Mactan, Bacolod and Davao.
In 1996, AMA set up the AMA Telecommunications and Electronics Learning Center (AMATEL) - the country’s first ever telecommunications school. It is now called AMA International Institute of Technology (AIIT) and has branches in Cubao, San Pedro, Laguna and Mindoro.
In 1998, the ABE International Business College was established to offer courses in Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM), Business Administration and computer-rela ted courses. Today, ABE has 25 branches nationwide. ABE is an International school affiliated with ABE in the United Kingdom. It offers not just local, but also international diploma and International practicum program.
The AMA school network also expanded overseas with branches in Los Angeles; California, Manama, Bahrain; Bangladesh; China and Hong Kong.
Despite the physical separation between the learner and the teacher, this does not mean that students are left on their own. Learners are expected to perform the usual learning acti vities done by students in traditional classes. Unlike face -to -face classes, course materials are usually the starting point for study and teaching/learning is mediated through the use of technology.
Online mentoring and tutorials and other forms of knowledge transfer via e- learning method are developed and adopted for faster delivery of lessons. These strategies enhance access to the online university degree programs.
Students are likewise provided with specially packaged instructional materials or self -le arning modules which they could study on their own most of the time.
