Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging?

PCCI is the nation's premier digital media and photography training company, offering over 50 instructor-led courses for both professionals and enthusiasts. see About Us

Does PCCI offer design services? Does PCCI sell software?

We do not offer design services, nor do we sell software. PCCI is primarily a training company, but we do have photo studios for rent, as well as a few related services. see Services

Books and videos are cheaper. Why should I invest in instructor-led training?

Books and training videos are fine learning aids, but offer only one-way communication. PCCI's instructor-led courses give you immediate and specific feedback, so you save a lot of valuable time and effort.

I noticed that most of your training courses are only two or three days long. Is that enough time to learn anything useful?

Absolutely. At eight hours per day, a two-day workshop gives you a total of 16 hours of instruction, while a three-day workshop gives you a total of 24 hours.

What's more, with our intensive hands-on format and creative training techniques, you can learn much more in much less time. Within the week, you'll be back at work applying what you've learned.

How do I become Adobe or Apple Certified?

Our training courses help you gain proficiency in Adobe and Apple products, but if you want the added advantage of being Adobe or Apple certified, you'll need to pass a product-specific exam after training.

To become an Apple Certified Pro, you must pass an exam at an Apple Authorized Training Center (AATC). As an AATC, PCCI can administer the Level 1 exam in Final Cut Pro. You have the option of taking the exam at the end of FCP 101. The exam fee is PhP 6,600 (USD 150).

To become an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) or Adobe Certified Pro (ACP), must pass an exam at a Pearson VUE or Prometric test center (not PCCI).

Alumni can continue their education through the PCCI Alumni eGroup. There, they can continue to ask questions, and benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of the entire PCCI community.
