About Us

ERCI (formerly known as Asian Centre for Professional Excellence, ACPE) was established in November 2003 by ERC Holdings (ERC) to provide education with a difference and raise the bar in education services in Singapore. ERC Holdings was founded by a group of Singapore entrepreneurs in 1999 to cultivate a strong entrepreneurial culture in the city-state.

ERCI is a leading education provider in Asia. We were founded by some of Asia’s top business leaders to groom the next generation of business captains. Our students enjoy excellent education and recreational facilities so that they can have an outstanding holistic education. They are also groomed and mentored by our panel of corporate titans to have that edge over their peers. We believe a low teacher-student ratio of between 1:10 and 1:30 benefits students as they will receive personalized attention from our lecturers. Over 5,000 students have entrusted their education needs with us, so come join us so we can share our secrets of success with you.

ERCI has five key areas of specialisation. It carries the flag of the entrepreneurial spirit and has a key segment with its entrepreneurship studies, the four other key segments are Tourism and Hospitality Management, Finance and Investment, Digital Media and Information Technology as well as Exercise Science and Fitness Management. Excellence, Results and Customer Focus (ERC) are the three strong values and characteristics of ERCI.
