Informatics was established in 1983, in response to Asia's economic growth fostering tremendous demands for skilled Information Technology (IT) manpower and knowledge-based workers to build and sustain the rapid economic development in the region.
The first private lifelong learning company to obtain a SGX-SESDAQ listing in May 1993, the Group has grown from strength to strength. Expanding rapidly from one centre when it was first established, to a global company with presence in countries spanning across Asia Pacific, Africa, Middle East, Europe and United States.
With a current market capitalisation of more than S$470 million, Informatics ranks alongside blue chip companies on the list of Top 20 Overall Best-Managed Singapore Companies in Asiamoney’s tenth annual poll of best-managed companies in January 2002.
Informatics' core business activities are training and education, IT-related services and franchise operations. The six franchise products are Informatics Computer School, Thames Business School, Ruige Applied Computing Centre (RACC), Informatics Professional Development Centre, Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) Training Centre, and Cambridge Child Development Centre (CCDC).
Today, Informatics Holdings Limited, through the business units, Higher Education, Informatics Corporate Learning, Young Learners Group, E-Learning and Franchise Sales & Development, has established itself as the global leader in providing quality lifelong learning services for individuals and corporations.
