On February 26, 2004, upon then UP President Francisco Nemenzo's recommendation, the UP Board of Regents (BOR) approved the creation of the Information Technology Training Program under the Office of the VicePresident for Development. The BOR appointed a Program Director for UP Information Technology Training Center on July 22, 2004. For its full-scale implementation, the University proposed a project for funding by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA (http://www.jica.go.jp/english/)). This was dubbed as the Japan-Philippines Technical Cooperation Project on Philippine IT Human Resource Development (ITHRD), which was approved by JICA and started operation on July 20, 2004, for a term of four years (extended until 2009). In the Record of Discussions signed by JICA and the University on July 9, 2004, the project's purpose was stated as: to conduct high-level and practical IT training in cooperation with other universities and industries, and to match the needs of the industry. In June 2005, the UP ITTC launched its one-year certificate course. On August 31, 2009, the Center concluded its initial audit for certification to the ISO 9001:2008 International Standards with ABS Quality Evaluations. The Center became the first IT training center in the Philippines to be ISO 9001:2008 certified. On June 2012, its management decided to change the name from UP Information Training Center to its present name as it expands its role to research, development and consultation services.

Transfer to Vidal A. Tan Hall

The UP ITDC was initially located at the Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) Building. After four years, it was observed that the Center was already outgrowing the facilities and space at the CSRC. A suitable location was found at the National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Developments (NISMEDs) Vidal A. Tan Hall. Renovations started on December 22, 2008. Initial changes included rehabilitation of former science classrooms and retrofitting of electrical wiring and outlets to accommodate the Centers laboratory setups. Temporary local area network connections were installed by the IT Operations Team with the help of a group of on-the-job trainees. In mid-February 2009, hauling of furniture and equipment from the CSRC began. By March 20, the Administration Team started holding office at the refurbished Vidal A. Tan Hall. Classroom and laboratory equipment were transferred in batches and stages to the new location. By the end of April, all equipment were transferred. The UP ITDC now operates with 9 classroom laboratories. Occupying the second floor of the Vidal A. Tan Hall are the offices of the Director, Administration Team, UP System IT Foundation, Marketing and Business Development Team, Content and Software Development Team, and Trainers Team, together with the conference room. Meanwhile, the IT Operations Team and the Project Management Office occupy the third floor of the building.

As a first step toward this end, the UP ITDC will use a free and open-source Learning Management System (LMS) to serve as a backbone for the online delivery of the Center's current courses and future offerings. The use of an LMS to support classroom-based instruction will greatly increase the effectiveness of UP ITDCs proven teaching and learning strategies. As the UP ITDC adopts a blended-learning strategy, the integration of different learning environments, as well as synchronous and asynchronous instruction, shall promote interaction among instructors, facilitators, and students, paving the way for a collaborative approach to learning. Furthermore, the availability and reusability of online content gives learners sufficient time to digest complex technical concepts. Offering certificate courses and specialist tracks online will also cater to IT professionals or those wanting to shift to an IT career but cannot enroll full-time because of time, distance, or financial constraints, or other limitations like present employment.
