STI Balayan Alumni tops NCC Test

by: Terranya Tiamson

“Education for real life”, STI’s campaign in educating students has become fruitful when one of its alumni Terranya M. Tiamson topped the programming proficiency test given by the National Computer Center (NCC) of the Philippines and was named Programming NC-IV Assessor in Batangas.

The National Computer Center is the leading agency responsible for promoting the right and strategic use of ICT in the Philippines. It has been giving the proficiency test to ICT professionals and trainers nationwide to test their competency in ICT. Last June 2009, NCC conducted the programming proficiency test at the Lyceum of Batangas to more than 40 ICT professionals and trainers from different industries and colleges from CALABARSON area. The six-hour test includes competence in creating applications using their selected programming language and in defining system analysis and design functions. From the Batangas examinees, only four passed and Terranya Tiamson, an STI College Balayan alumnus and currently one of their IT instructors topped the test with an average of 84.75 percent while the rest got an average below 80 percent. She was given a Certificate of Proficiency in Programming by the NCC which will also be the basis for granting appropriate ICT (EDP) Specialist eligibility by the Civil Service Commission.

In line with this, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Batangas recognized her as one of their assessor in programming who will assess students and trainers for the Programming National Certificate IV (NCIV).
