MCF strives to boost national ICT development

THE Myanmar Computer Federation (MCF) is making concerted efforts to develop both the ICT industry and human resources in Myanmar by organizing ICT skill standard-aligned certification exams. The ITPEC Exam, recognized by seven Asian nations, is held twice annually in Myanmar.

On 12 July, MCF hosted the certificate awarding ceremony for those who passed the ITPEC Exam conducted on 27 April 2025. The ceremony took place at the MICT Park Conference Hall in Hline Township, where over 300 successful candidates from various regions received their certificates.

Notably, one Myanmar candidate achieved the highest score among the seven participating countries in the ITPEC-FE exam, while another secured third place. Three Myanmar examinees also jointly ranked third in the IP Exam. Dr Aye Aye Thin, Vice President of MCF presented awards to these top performers.

MCF began its journey towards international IT certification in 2002 by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Japan IT Engineer Examination Centre (JITEC), aiming to produce internationally recognized IT engineers. The federation also collaborated with the Myanmar Computer Professionals Association (MCPA) to recognize MCPA exam passers.

In 2005, MCF became a founding member of the IT Professional Examination Council (ITPEC), which currently administers exams in seven countries on the same day twice a year. The exams are structured into three levels based on ICT skill standards. To date, around 6,700 individuals from Myanmar have passed the exams.

During the recent ceremony, Vice President of MCF Dr Aye Aye Thin, Vice Chair of MCPA U Zaw Moe Tun and General Secretary of MCF Dr Myo Myo Naing delivered speeches and presented certificates of appreciation to supporters and contributors to the programme.
