Ateneo Center for Continuing Education

What Ateneo Center for Continuing Education does

Ateneo Center for Continuing Education (AGSB-CCE) is the continuing professional education arm of the Ateneo Graduate School of Business at Ateneo de Manila University, a private Jesuit institution in the Philippines. Founded in 1996 as the Basic Leadership Program and later rebranded to Center for Continuing Education, CCE delivers short courses, certificate programs, multi-module diplomas, and customized corporate training across leadership, management, finance, project management, supply chain, operational excellence (including Lean Six Sigma Yellow/Green/Black Belt), human resources, marketing, and emerging topics such as AI for executives and ESG/sustainability. The organization runs a hub-and-spoke delivery model with in-person sessions across its Quezon City headquarters and Ateneo Rockwell and Salcedo campuses in Makati, supplemented by satellite campuses in Santa Rosa (Laguna), Clark Field (Pampanga), Cebu City, and Iloilo City, plus blended and fully online delivery via the AteneoBlueCloud Canvas LMS and Zoom.

CCE serves two primary customer segments: individual working professionals and managers seeking career-advancing credentials, and corporate organizations procuring customized in-house training through the Corporate Solutions division. Selected MBA students at AGSB can also earn elective credits through certain CCE programs, and international executives participate in programs such as the Asian Business Leaders (ABL) cohort. Revenue is generated almost entirely through participant registration fees, with per-course pricing ranging from Php 3,000 (e.g., ESG modules) to Php 64,000 (e.g., Building a High-Performance Project Organization), supplemented by bespoke corporate contracts. Distribution is direct via website registration, phone-based sales, and dedicated corporate sales contacts, with marketing supported by email newsletters, social channels (Facebook, X, YouTube), and brochure downloads. Strategic partnerships with the Bankers Association of the Philippines, the Philippine Stock Exchange, the Institute of Corporate Directors, and internal Ateneo institutes extend its content and credentialing reach.
