TESDA TM1-Certified Instructor Rogimer Earns Oracle AI Certifications

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword. AI is embedded in how the world works, learns, and innovates. AI now forms the backbone of digital transformation. From recommendation engines and predictive analytics to conversational systems, AI is everywhere. Understanding how this technology operates has become essential. Not only for tech professionals but for anyone preparing for the future, especially for TESDA TM1-certified trainers.

Bringing Global AI Standards into Local Innovation

At Armada Logics, this belief fuels how the team trains, builds, and innovates. Through internal AI programs, developers don’t just learn to leverage AI tools in their workflows. They design and build AI systems and solutions that enhance efficiency and creativity across projects. Moreover, this hands-on approach ensures that AI becomes not just an aid but an integral part of how the company delivers real-world results.

One of the key individuals leading this mission is Rogimer Urriza, a TESDA TM1-certified instructor and curriculum developer at Armada Logics.

TESDA TM1-Certified Trainer Who Builds, A Developer Who Trains

Rogimer recently earned his Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 AI Foundations Associate certification on October 22, 2025, with an impressive 95% score. He is also an Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) Java SE 8 Developer. He scored 96%, further showcasing his strong technical foundation and commitment to continuous learning.

For Rogimer, this milestone represents more than personal growth and another certification on his belt. This certification reflects the evolution and alignment of AI education. “Passing the Oracle AI Foundations exam may have been easy,” he said, “but it affirmed my growth as both a developer and instructor. It helped me connect what I teach with how AI works in real systems.”

Rogimer pursued AI certification with a clear purpose—to align his teaching with global standards. From the very beginning, he knew that mastering AI meant more than just understanding theory. “I wanted to align my teaching with global AI standards,” he explained. “Oracle’s lessons gave me solid fundamentals that strengthened both my technical and instructional approach.”

Moreover, balancing his dual roles as developer and instructor comes naturally to him. “I treat my work and teaching as one cycle; what I learn from development, I teach—and what I teach, I apply,” he said. Through this ongoing exchange, he ensures that every concept he teaches remains grounded in real-world applications, not just theory.

Advancing Instructor Excellence Through Oracle AI Certifications

Beyond his Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 AI Foundations Associate certification, Rogimer further strengthened his expertise by obtaining an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 Generative AI Professional (1Z0-1127-25) certification on December 15, 2025, after completing Oracle’s AI For U program. These achievements deepened his understanding of generative AI, cloud-based AI infrastructure, and ethical, responsible AI use in production environments.

At Armada Logics, certifications like these are part of a broader culture of excellence. Instructors are encouraged to pursue globally recognized credentials like Oracle certifications—not only to sharpen their technical skills, but to ensure that their teaching reflects how AI is actually built and deployed in modern systems.

This commitment helps bridge the gap between academic learning and industry practice. By investing in globally certified instructors, Armada Logics ensures that its TESDA-aligned programs remain future-ready and internationally competitive—empowering Filipino learners with skills that translate beyond local borders.

The Learning Journey: Understanding AI Beyond the Exam

When it came to certification preparation, Rogimer focused not just on passing a test but on truly understanding how AI works beneath the surface. “The challenge wasn’t the test,” Rogimer shared. “It was understanding how AI infrastructure works behind the scenes. That’s where I learned the most.”

To achieve this, he spent hours exploring Oracle’s learning materials and hands-on labs, steadily deepening his grasp of how cloud systems host and deploy AI models. “It gave me a clearer view of how AI runs on cloud systems and how models are deployed in real-world settings,” he added.

Building Globally Aligned AI Curriculum

Immediately, Rogimer’s certification influenced his work as a curriculum developer. He began integrating cloud-based and industry-level applications into the AI modules. “It inspired me to include more cloud and real-world AI applications in our modules for Armada Logics training,” he said.

For him, effective AI education must be hands-on, industry-based, and beginner-friendly. “We align our content with global AI standards while simplifying concepts through real-world examples,” Rogimer explained. “Each topic is designed to be hands-on and progressive. Starting with basic principles and gradually introducing advanced tools used in the industry.”

In his classes, theory and practice always go hand in hand. “We combine short lectures with practical labs and projects,” he said. “Learners immediately apply what they study by building simple AI models. Or using cloud tools, turning abstract concepts into real, tangible skills.”

Strengthening Armada Logics’ Mission Through TESDA TM1-Certified Trainers

Rogimer’s Oracle certification reinforces Armada Logics’ commitment to developing next-generation AI programs and aligning them with global standards. “It strengthens our position as a company bringing global AI standards into local education,” he said.

At Armada Logics, collaboration is key to ensuring that every course meets world-class benchmarks. “Our team works closely through continuous research, certification alignment, and peer review,” Rogimer noted. “We benchmark our modules against international programs and integrate feedback from industry experts and educators.”

Armada Logics’ strength lies in combining real-world software experience, certified instructors, and a mission to localize global best practices. As Rogimer put it, “We bring global practices into local contexts, making advanced AI education accessible, practical, and relevant for Filipino learners.”

Bringing Global Standards to Local Tech Education

Rogimer’s Oracle certifications exemplify how individual expertise strengthens Armada Logics’ broader mission: delivering industry-aligned, globally informed training that prepares Filipino learners for the modern tech workforce. By ensuring that instructors are certified, experienced, and actively engaged in real-world AI and software development, Armada Logics builds a foundation for high-quality, practical education that extends beyond the classroom.

Shaping the Future of AI Education in the Philippines

Looking ahead, Rogimer envisions AI education in the Philippines becoming more practical. More industry-driven and career-oriented. “AI learning will continue to evolve, becoming more hands-on and aligned with global industry standards,” he said.

He firmly believes Filipino students should begin cultivating skills that go beyond coding—especially critical thinking, adaptability, and curiosity. Moreover, he emphasizes that “certifications validate real skills and ensure alignment with global standards. For educators, they build credibility; for students, they open doors to international opportunities.”

What’s Next for Rogimer and Armada Logics

Rogimer is already focused on the next frontier. “We’re expanding our AI programs and integrating new technologies such as Generative AI and Prompt Engineering into the curriculum,” he shared. Armada Logics is also strengthening collaborations that aim to shape the next wave of Filipino AI professionals.
