Royal Christian College
October 2006

Fly high and reach your dreams!

Evolution harkens the dawn of a new era. The same phrase can be said of Royal Christian College (RCC) for it has undergone tremendous evolution. RCC was founded as the Electronics and Technological Institute of Cebu City, Inc. (ETICC) in 1985, but its Articles of Incorporation were amended and the name of the College was changed to Technological Institute of Cebu City, Inc. (TICC) on June 16, 1988.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

In February 1994, the incorporators of TICC sold the College to Garcia then, in July 1995, Barnard became Steward / President and overseer of all RCC school operations. In November 4, 1995, the board of directors decided to change the name of TICC to Royal Christian College. Under Barnard's leadership, RCC was able to focus on it core, course Bachelor Science with Majors in Tourism and has since been known for its expertise in the field of tourism.

By the year 2000, Capt. Antero Roy Book purchased the school with his family sitting on the board of trustees with him as the Chairman and President. Under his leadership, the school was more focused in granting exposure to students in the airline industry to such extent that most of the OJT candidates are assigned to airline companies, most of whom would later hire these OJT candidates.

The School is not just limited to the four corners of its walls, for it is also vigilant in various tourism related exhibits and job fairs. As a matter of fact, her students are always in the forefront of such events like the tourism job fair exhibit and tourism expo to name a few. Often, her students are getting the first hand experience on tourism through various activities like the annual Hong Kong tour.

Every one has a moral obligation to help society. Thus, in keeping with this, the Royal Christian College has a linkage with the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary for students to receive the training required to become enlisted members of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian support group of the Philippine Coast Guard. Although a volunteer, civilian organization, the PCGA uses a military structure for organizational purposes. Like other volunteer sea rescue organizations around the world, it performs non-military and non-police activities in support of its national navy or coast guard. These endeavors include search and rescue, environmental protection, disaster relief, and community services.

The school as a whole is a continuous work in progress. It changes for the better of society as well as its facilities and faculty/staff. Together with the trusted and loyal faculty and staff members, Royal Christian College molds the students as competent, quality conscious and socially responsible citizens of the country.

FLAGSHIP COURSES

Royal Christian College prides itself in giving On-the-Job Training assignment to her students. Each candidate for graduation is required to render On-the-Job training at an Airline company or travel agency selected by the School Officials.

Bachelor Science with majors in Airline Management prepares students to the prospect of employment with various airline companies. Students are taught not just the book knowledge of the business but how it works as a whole. Students would learn how to reserve and book Airline tickets as well as how does the ticket pay for the operational cost of the Airline; and what makes an airplane fly.

Bachelor of Science with majors in Travel and Tourism Management imparts the basic traits and knowledge regarding the tourism industry. With annual tours, both local and international, students learn far greater things, for there is absolutely no better teacher in tourism than first hand experience.

Bachelor of Science with majors on the following fields: Business Management, Accounting Management. These subsidized courses are specifically tailored to meet the financial needs of working students.

VARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL

Each summer the school offers Air Survival Training for Airline management and tourism majors. Students are taught with the aid of the Bureau of Fire Prevention how to fight fire, and survive in stringent conditions that are simulated. The course is directly under the supervision of the President and a selected faculty member to ensure the safety of the students.

Local and Domestic tours are usually scheduled every semester. As always, no less than the President, School Administrators and officials oversees the activity. To travel and learn is among the best gifts in the field of learning.

The annual Ms. Royal Christian College is unlike any school-sanctioned pageantry for it is in this activity that doors to employment with Airline companies are opened. It aims to prove that beauty must be coupled with intellect otherwise beauty alone would not survive in the harsh realities of the world. The annual pageantry is sponsored by various corporations and airline companies.

For after all learning is a continuous process and what better way to learn than to do while traveling, so come fly high and reach for your dreams at Royal Christian College. (By Aljoriz Dublin, Faculty member)
