About Us
OUR STORY
Our roots can be traced back to 1983 when Informatics Education was founded in Singapore in response to the demands for skilled Information Technology professionals in Asia. With the passion for technology and the vision of making IT education more accessible to Filipinos, Leonardo “Leo” Angeles Riingen established Informatics Philippines in 1993.
Making quality IT education more accessible to Filipinos, the very first Informatics Computer School was inside one of the most visited malls in the country and in one of the main business districts of Metro Manila. This eventually paved the way for more centers and colleges as demand grew, expanding to a network of over 30 computer schools and colleges all over the country.
Today, Informatics Philippines (or “Informatics”) is an independently owned and operated local educational institution that continues to ignite the very passion that brought it to life. Helping Filipinos acquire I.T. knowledge and skills that are vital for their personal and professional growth is the driving force of Informatics.
We offer Senior High School tracks, programs and courses for Tertiary Education (College or Higher Education), training programs and short courses for Professionals (Corporate), and Diploma courses, with special focus on I.T.-related core competencies and disciplines. These tracks, courses and programs are offered in a wide array of learning modes, from face-to-face learning to remote learning.
All our programs, backed by qualified educators and globally-recognized learning platforms and tools, are designed to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to become globally competitive and in-demand in any field or industry.

Our Founder
Leonardo Riingen is an entrepreneur who has already contributed immensely to improving information technology (IT) training and education in the Philippines.
Riingen came up with the idea that an Information Technology training should be made available to people. When you think of Informatics, "the computer school in the mall ", Riingen is the man behind it. That is the innovative and creative, if not a proactive way of making business and fulfilling his dream of making IT accessible to the people.
Utilizing his education in U.K., he applied the ladderized program in IT, patterned after the British education system, to allow students to learn skills and make them immediately employable. Also, he designed and customized IT training programs and curriculum for companies and government offices to give learners a comprehensive, organization-wide IT training. To make the IT education and training that his schools offer at par with international standards, his schools boast of international courses validated by the world's leading IT qualification awarding bodies; and maintains affiliations with IT industry technology frontrunners.
