What our students say
PCCI lets you learn from the experts. It immerses you and changes you. I was able to apply the skills and translate it to unique masterpieces. The experts are approachable and they are willing to help you in case you get a mistake or something you do not understand. I and many others consider PCCI the 2nd or a possible 1st home.
After graduating from PCCI, I immediately used the skills I have learned and found a job that gave me generous income. With certified industry practitioners as instructors and hands-on skills training, the course was the complete package I needed to excel in the creative industry. From a student who didn’t even know what Photoshop was, I am now getting clients coming from local and international companies satisfying their requirements – something I would not have done if not for PCCI.
You will be learning from the best. They are professionals passionate in their chosen field yet they are humble and eager to share their skills and expertise from their personal experiences.
Our professors in PCCI are high-caliber educators who have years of experience in the creative industry, and some of them are even internationally recognized for their eye in photography. The school provides an atmosphere that is very conducive for learning with top-of-the-line facilities available for students to use. It’s my top choice in learning Photography, and I’m so grateful I’m now a graduate of PCCI and I’m finally making my way in the creatives!
Graduating from TESDA Photography NC II, it gave me a more in-depth knowledge of the art and its technicalities. What I thought I already have enough know-how in photography, I learned it from this institution led by its professional and competent instructors. Although I shoot pictures for my own consumption and friend requests, the training boosted my interest to jump into the commercial circuit. Unfortunately the pandemic shelved my plans until the present danger is over.

About Us
What is Philippine Center for Creative Imaging?

Network) Club Philippines, the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging,
or PCCI, is the premier training hub for the country’s growing pool of
digital artists and photographers. It conducts intensive, hands-on
workshops in graphics software and their real-world applications.

The Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) program allows you to demonstrate proficiency in the Adobe digital skills required for a number of creative careers.

Wacom Authorized Training Center
PCCI is the first and only Wacom Authorized Training Partner in the Philippines. All computer workstations are equipped with Wacom graphics tablets.
Wacom pen tablets allow our students to draw and paint in a way that is much more natural and ergonomic than using a mouse. This reduces the risk of wrist-and-arm strain that result from prolonged mouse use.
CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+)
PCCI’s resident and principal instructor is a CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+). CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) is the leading global IT trade association. The CompTIA CTT+ certification is the cross-industry credential recognizing excellence in instruction.
PCCI emphasizes technology transfer to ensure the continued development of the graphics and publishing industry. PCCI does this by tapping practicing digital artists to lead its seminars and workshops. This way participants benefit from the instructors’ real-world experience.
PCCI uses the instructor-led, participant-centered approach to technical training, which has been proven highly effective in providing the right environment conducive to fast and effective learning. It is the same method that the CTT+ program emphasizes.
Intensive Hands-on Workshop Method
Training experts agree that learning by doing is the fastest, most cost-effective way to acquire new skills. And doing it in a workshop environment promotes a high-degree of interaction and involvement among participants. A workshop is a short, intensive, total-immersion learning experience.
In addition to hands-on workshops, PCCI offers a number of one-day seminars. These seminars, while not hands-on, explain in simple terms the basic concepts and issues participants need to grasp before taking the corresponding hands-on courses.
Bi-Platform Instruction (Face-to-Face Training Delivery Only)
When needed, PCCI instructors present the differences between the Mac version and the Windows version of an application. This ensures that both Mac users and PC users benefit equally from the course.
PCCI’s fully networked facility offers each workshop participant the use of a Mac or PC workstation, a graphics tablet, high-end flatbed scanners, and high quality photo printers. PCCI also has a small library of books and periodicals for in-house use by class participants.
