The Army Computer Literacy Center (ACLC) was purposely created to educate and equip all military personnel and civilian employees assigned at HPA with the fundamental knowledge and skills in computer operations, Internet and E-mail usage, and Microsoft Office productivity software. Bulk of the Army Computer Literacy Trainings (ACLT) being conducted at ACLC is focused on teaching the students MS Office applications running under Windows Operating System environment such as MS Word for word processing, MS Excel for spreadsheets, and MS PowerPoint for presentations. The implementation of ACLT is in consonance with the command’s directive to reduce the personnel complement of HPA offices and post units, thus driving the imperative of having more computer literate personnel.

AC of S for Personnel, G1 was designated as the staff having primary responsibility on creating the Army Computer Literacy Center early in the month of August 2006. The Army Management Information Center (AMIC) was subsequently tasked as the Unit of Primary Responsibility and Project Administrator responsible for the SOP on the operation and utilization of the ACLC.

The ACLT is a two-week training composed of 40 periods and is conducted from 1700H to 2100H after office hours. The first batch of training opened last 23 August 2006 with a quota allocation of fourteen (14) students. As of 07 September 2007, AMIC had already trained fifteen classes of ACLT, producing 223 more computer literate personnel composed of 33 officers, 172 enlisted personnel, and 18 civilian employees from HPA. Currently, records show that within the HPA offices and post units, 96% of all officers are computer literate, 88% for enlisted personnel and 80% for civilian employees.

The Army Computer Literacy Center is open from 0800H to 1700H, Monday to Friday to all PA military personnel, especially those coming from the field units, for work and computer-learning related purposes.
