AMA Education System (AMAES) will integrate two of the Oracle Academy courses into the AMA Computer University curriculum starting the second trimester of this school year. These are Oracle’s Advanced Computer Sciences (ACS) and Enterprise Business Application. Oracle Corporation, one of the world’s largest business software company, chose AMES to be the first Oracle Academy in the Philippines, primarily due to the educational institution operating the largest network of universities and colleges.
The Oracle Academy supports over 655,000 students in 86 countries worldwide. Of which 355,000 are from more than 1,400 educational institutions across the Asia-Pacific region. Initially, 23 AMA branches have been registered in the program.
Participating AMA campuses include Main Campus (Quezon City), Makati, Pasig, Las Piñas, Caloocan, East Rizal (Antipolo City), Davao, Fairview (Quezon City), Biñan (Laguna), Cavite, Sta. Cruz (Laguna), Calamba (Laguna), Lucena (Quezon), Tarlac, Lipa (Batangas), Santiago (Isabela), Olongapo (Zambales), Batangas, Bacolod (Negros Occidental), and Cagayan de Oro. Eventually, this will be rolled out to enrol and register the remaining 17 AMA colleges as well. Up to 5,000 enrolled students stand to benefit from the industry-leading technology and business training program.
AMA students who are taking up Computer Science, Information Technology and Information Management are given exposure to the two Oracle world-class software and how information technology applications are used in industries such as finance, retail, telecommunication, healthcare and manufacturing. These will distinguish AMA students from others as they can pursue professional certifications, like being Oracle-certified.
The Oracle Academy ACS also supports faculty development through the Oracle database and middleware software and curriculum given to faculty members for teaching use. Two faculty members from AMA University are currently also being trained to become Master Trainers of the Oracle Academy Program in Singapore given by Oracle University.
The collaboration between AMAES and Oracle Academy reflects their shared vision to provide students with cutting-edge technical and business skills required for 21st century careers. The Oracle Academy is dedicated to preparing students for the 21st century workforce and to providing teachers with world-class professional development opportunities.
Together, the Oracle Academy and AMA Education are investing directly in the development of the Philippines information technology community to create advanced technical; learning opportunities for students.
