Garnering a 100% passing rate in the first batch of reviewees, the company was able to position itself as one of the best nursing review centers in the Philippines and expand to conduct review programs in countries like the Ireland, India, Indonesia and Dubai, UAE.

This milestone brings to light the expansion of the center’s scope in the provision of review for nurse’s licensure examination.
• JANUARY 6, 1997 – From partnership, the institution was converted to a corporation and was duly-registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
