What is PhilNITS?

PhilNITS (Philippine National IT Standards) is an IT certification body in the Philippines which aims to provide an avenue for people who want to test their level of knowledge in the field of information technology. This IT certification exam was previously known as Japanese IT Standards Exam (JITSE) but then changed to PhilNITS to eliminate the notion that the standards of the exam are limited only to Japanese IT industries.


There are fourteen (14) exams given by the Japan IT Engineers Examination Center (JITEC) of the Information Technology Promotions Agency (IPA) of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan. These exams are based on the established Information Technology Engineers Skill Standards (ITSS).


In the Philippines, there are three exams given : IT Passport Exam, Fundamental IT Engineers Exam (FE), and the Software Engineers Exam (SW).


IT Passport Exam is given to individuals who have basic knowledge of information technology that all working people should commonly possess, and who perform information technology related tasks, or are trying to utilize information technology in his/her tasks in charge.


PhilNITS FE Exam requires that the person must have the ability to develop a good program by fully using different techniques related to basic level algorithm and data structures. The FE Exam also requires the person to be able to successfully carry out jobs such as program development, unit tests and system integration tests.


On the other hand PhilNITS SW Exam is given to people who have at least two years work experience in software development and who are competent in basic software, middleware and  application software.


IT Passport and FE Exams are given twice a year while SW Exam is given only once.


By passing the exam, there are benefits waiting for you. I passed the exam last October 2009 when I am still a fourth year student in the first semester. When I reached the final semester of my college life, I haven't find it hard to look for a job. Before I graduated, there was already a company waiting for me. I have a bonus to my monthly salary and that is very rare. There is also a large community of PhilNITS Passers for you to keep in touch. Plus, a lot of trainings are available.


This October 2010, another set of exams will be given. If you are interested, please feel free to visit their website by clicking the link below.
