The centre for Development of Advanced Computing is one of the foremost providers of advanced training in IT courses in the country. About some of the courses on offer in Kerala

Established in March 1998, the centre for development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) was designed as an institution for the design, development and deployment of advanced IT based solutions.

Today the C-DAC has grown from just a research and development organisation to being one of the foremost providers of advanced training in IT courses in the country. The success of C-DAC courses has been mainly due to the expertise the organisation has gained over the years in implementing projects for the scientific and business community. The organisation's powers in financial and capital market simulation and modelling, network and internet software, providing IT solution for the healthcare, for e governance in artificial intelligence and natural language processing are widely acknowledged today.

Designing courses

This expertise has helped C-DAC design IT courses, which are top of the line, and has enabled the organisation to provide placements for those who complete the courses. C-DAC's IT courses are conducted by its advanced computing training school (ACTS) and are offered at more than 100 authorised training centres of the organisation, more than 30,000 students pass out from various IT courses that it offers.
The ACTS was set up in September 1993 for fashioning qualified manpower to further the developments made by the parent organisation. Over time, ACTS too has diversified both in the nature of the courses it offers and in the number of centres across the country.
