History

On June 27, 1985 at Santa Isabel Building in Balibago, Angeles, five persons came together and formed Systems Plus Inc. (SPI). The primary purpose of forming this organization was to conduct seminars for those who were planning to enter the electronic data processing as programmers, encoders and system analysts.

Tutorial programs for students and professionals started at the institution on July 7, 1985. This date also served as the school's foundation day.

In subsequent years, Systems Plus Inc. saw increased enrollment. In June 1987, the institution started offering associate courses and later on, bachelor's degree and graduate degree programs.

In response to growing enrollment, the institution opened four campuses in Cubao, Caloocan, San Fernando and an extension campus along Miranda Street in Angeles City.

On Apr 12, 2024, SPCF Team spcF.coMeLex won third place in the third iTHINK Hackathon organized by the ISLA Camp (ICP HUB Philippines), held during the International Conference on Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (IRCITE) 2024.

In June 2004, the name of the school was once again changed from Systems Plus Computer College to Systems Plus College Foundation (SPCF), Inc. with the adoption of a new school logo. This was to align itself with the expected growth and development,

The Commission on Higher Education Regional Office has awarded the Center of Development in Information Technology designation to the school.
