Training Technique
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.
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.
Courses are divided into three levels—beginners, intermediate, advanced. If you’re not sure what level, or what specific course is right for you, contact us.
Advance registration and payment are required.
Note: Registration alone does not guarantee you a seat in class. To secure your place, your registration must be followed by atleast fifty (50%) percent down payment.
Seats are limited, so register and pay as early as possible to ensure your place. Seats will be allocated on a first-pay, first-serve basis.
Step 1: Go to ALL COURSES page and look for the course you want to register or visit the CALENDAR page to check all available schedule
Step 2: Choose your preferred schedule and add to cart.
The student must not miss the first day of class and/or more than 20% of the class duration. First day in class is critical as it lays the foundation of the discussion and activities for the following days.
Certificates of Attendance or Completion are awarded to students who have attended atleast 80% of the class duration.
On rare occasions, a listed instructor is unable to teach a class due to an unscheduled professional assignment. If this happens, we will replace the instructor with someone of equivalent credentials. In the event we cannot secure a substitute, the class can be rescheduled or cancelled.
Class hours are generally from 9 AM to 5 PM. Please check in 30 minutes early on the first day. Lunch and snacks are provided. The training facility opens at 8 AM and closes at 6 PM on class days, to give you more time to work on hands-on exercises and projects.

Webinars and Live Virtual Classroom
There seems to be no clarity as to the end of the pandemic in the Philippines. It is highly likely that restrictions on mass gatherings and domestic air travel will be in place for some months to come.
PCCI considers the safety of the students as its top priority and recognizes the need to provide an alternative training delivery method of our courses to continue promoting learning at home.
We are, therefore, launching PCCI Anywhere, the online training arm of our training center which offers webinars and live virtual classroom. Launching soon as part of the online learning delivery is the self-paced online classes.
Live Webinars
Lectures done by esteemed instructors with participant access to Q&A.
Live Virtual Classrooms
Instructors facilitating classes in Zoom meeting with hands on activities and handouts via Google Classroom. Instructors will be overseeing the hands-on activities through screensharing feature.
Self-Paced Courses
Pre-recorded how-to videos by instructors with after viewing downloadable hands-on exercises and handouts. There are scheduled group live sessions to engage in Q&A with instructors every month.
1.) Will the online class be as effective as actual classrooms?
Yes. PCCI has redesigned the curriculum for online training and we ensure that the effectiveness of instruction, examples, exercises and exercise materials are at par with the real class environment. For live virtual classroom training, instructors may continue to guide students through screensharing function during hands-on activities.
We use private chat and open mic in Zoom to address queries during lectures, demonstrations and hands-on activities.
2.) Are there disadvantages in online classes compared to physical classes?
Physical classes provide you the system and site requirements needed for training such as computer, environment and physical presence of both the instructor and students making interactions much easier during hands-on exercises and breaks. There are also less distractions in physical classes providing the students higher level of concentration. In online classes, however, given the right motivation, you have more personal time, flexibility and comfort.
3.) How will be the training conducted? Do I have to download any software/app?
For both live webinars and live virtual classroom trainings, we will use ZOOM meeting software, you can download the Zoom app on your computer or mobile device. Use the link to access from the PCCI Invitation email once you have received it.
For virtual classroom trainings, selected courses may require you to install specific program such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator since there are hands on activities facilitated during these sessions. If you don’t have one installed in your computer at the moment, you can download a trial version from Adobe.com.
4.) How do I log in to the training?
Login credentials/link will be sent to you a week before the course commencement date. You can enter the training by clicking on the link. This link will be valid for all the days of the training.
5.) How do I get my study materials?
The Live Virtual Classroom trainings will have materials such as exercise files and guides. You can access these materials via Google Classroom. You will receive a separate Google Classroom invitation via email along with the PCCI Online training email. You may download these materials before the session starts or during the session.
6.) Can I record the session?
Recording of the training is not allowed and recording access will be disabled for all participants.
7.) What if my connection is not stable at times?
We recommend that you use a stable LAN cable-based connectivity. However, if there are unavoidable breaks from your end, you have two options:
