The ACES [Advanced Concept Educational System] Tagum College (ATC) is a Private Non - sectarian (PN) Educational Institution. It was founded in 1995 with a singular aim of providing quality education for the masses under the corporate name of ACES Technical Institute. Its humble beginning was marked by an enolment of 36 students during the Second Semester of the School Year 1995 - 1996. Building its strength through technical education, ATI is an accredited TESDA Assessment Center for several skill competencies.
While ATI is relying solely on the school fees as its funding source, the quest for a school of higher learning has been its relentless aim. In the year 2000, the school was elevated into a college status that its name was changed to ACES TAGUM COLLEGE (ATC). The highly commited and dedicated faculty and staff of the College are the main factors that drive its rapid growth and development. The compelling task of the College is to "Give more for the Less". This means that it must offer itself for more sevices to those that has less in material possessions. ATC believes of the new employment formula that is "Trade Skills + Desirable Work Values + Good Communication Skills in the English Language = EMPLOYMENT" .
Today, Aces Tagum College is providing the basic skills in the use of STANDARD AMERICAN LANGUAGE to its graduates, who could understand and can be understood by a native English tounge. Moreover, the ATC shall provide graduates who could complement the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) workforce.
