We are a very specialized Information Technology Training school, currently with a capacity of 250 full time students in two half day sessions. We have three courses that are open to international students. In Singapore, we cater to both corporate as well as academic market needs.

Being a city campus, our school is surrounded by good amenities such as the National Library about 10 minutes walk from us, Hindu temples, Buddhist temples, Christian churches, Muslim Mosques are nearby, a public swimming pool is about 15 minutes walking distance, hostels about 20 minutes to travel and the MRT (Mass Rapid Transport) which is just 10 minutes walk away, plus many big and small supermarkets and eateries.

Our class sizes have been kept small for optimum teaching effectiveness.

We provide the following Service Guarantee for our Courses

In December 2004, the school had in place the Student Protection Scheme as stipulated by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) (the "SPS") by way of a Student Tuition Fee Insurance with NTUC Insurance. And in October 2009, we entered into the insurance arrangement with a new provider, Lonpac Berhad. Through this new Fee Protection Scheme (FPS), applicants and students' paid fees are protected.
