Educational Systems Technological Institute (E.S.T.I) was founded in 1990 to pioneer in computer education services in the province of Marinduque. Initially, only short term vocational courses, like Office Management with Computer Technology and Electronics Technology were offered but as the need for four year academic programs became evident, the educational institution started offering B.S. Computer Science and B.S. in Business Administration. Marinduque being an island province has a fine tradition of producing competent seafarers.
