Philippine Information Technology General Certification Examination or “PHIL-IT GCE”
Cebu Educational Development Foundation for Information Technology (CEDF-IT) in collaboration with www.itpros.ph, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), and the European IT Service Center Foundation (EITSC)
The PHIL-IT GCE may be considered as an overall evaluation of the graduate’s level of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning as specified in B.S. Computer Science; B.S. Computer Engineering; B.S. Information Technology; and, B.S. Information Management curricula, as well as the graduate’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes pertinent to advanced or latest trends in IT as required by industry. The PHIL-IT GCE consists of a cluster of “generic examinations” that likewise assesses the graduate’s overall readiness to become a professional in both IT subjects and non-IT subjects. In a way, the PHIL-IT GCE serves as an interim solution for the need for a board examination, testing the IT skills of Filipino would-be professionals, with IT skills set by Filipino IT professionals, yet addressing international industry benchmarks.
The PHIL-IT GCE is an entry-level professional competency standards and examinations for graduates/graduating of B.S. Computer Science; B.S. Computer Engineering; B.S. Information Technology; and, B.S. Information Management courses -- recent or otherwise, employed and unemployed -- from the major colleges and universities nationwide who are qualified to take the PHIL-IT GCE as the viable and credible measure of their preparedness, commitment, and competency to enter the world of IT professionals.
