Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf (MCCID) is a non-sectarian, post-secondary, Christian foundation school for the deaf in the Philippines authorized by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Philippines) (TESDA) to offer non-degree computer and other technical training programs.

It is also the only institute in the Philippines authorized by the government through TESDA to offer sign language and interpreting programs as well as courses for the deaf.

Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf Foundation, Inc. was incorporated on September 9, 1993 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Philippines) (SEC) as a non-stock, non-profit foundation. It was through the idea of two young Christian computer professionals, one hearing and one deaf, that they decided to establish an educational institution that focuses on improving the computer skills of the deaf.

On November 4, 2008, MCCID became MCCID College of Technology, Inc.[1]

Campus

MCCID has its main campus in Cubao, Quezon City with more rooms and better/fully airconditioned facilities. It is very accessible and more convenient to the Deaf community especially those living in the North (Caloocan City, Malabon City, Navotas City and Valenzuela City) and East sides (Quezon City, Marikina City and Pasig City) of Metro Manila as well as Bulacan and Rizal provinces.[2]

Quezon Campus

In 2009, MCCID College opened its first community based campus in Tiaong, Quezon in partnership with Bartimaeus Center for Alternative Learning (Bethsaida, Inc.), a Community Based School for the Disabled Persons established in early 90s. The 1,400 sq. m. property housed a small school building with a computer lab and classrooms. The school services the deaf communities of Quezon Province as well as in lower parts of Laguna and the whole of Batangas. The school is partially funded by Liliane Foundation Philippines.[3]

Pampanga Campus

After careful study from among key partners of Liliane Foundation Philippines (LFP) in Central Luzon, MCCID opened its second campus in City of San Fernando, Pampanga this 2010. The 300 sq.m prime property is owned by Innocencio Magtoto Memorial Foundation, Inc. As a flagship project of LFP under its Region III Cluster, MCCID will open its IT program to deaf high school graduates from Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija and Zambales. Its main goal is to produce top quality deaf trainors who will then be deployed to different LFP partner-organizations (PO) nationwide as trainor experts/instructors. They will be responsible in teaching computers and other livelihood programs to deaf high school graduates from key cities and municipalities with LFP established partners.[4][5]

San Mateo Rizal Campus

The construction of a two-story school main campus in San Mateo, Rizal is now underway since 2009. The building sits on a 6,000 sq.m rolling hills prime property site in Bgy. Silangan near the Marikina City, San Mateo border. San Mateo is a first class urban municipality of Rizal. The building is expected to be completed by early 2010.
