Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf (MCCID) is a non-sectarian, post-secondary, Christian foundation school for the deaf in the Philippines authorized by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Philippines) (TESDA) to offer non-degree computer and other technical training programs.

It is also the only institute in the Philippines authorized by the government through TESDA to offer sign language and interpreting programs as well as courses for the deaf.

Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf Foundation, Inc. was incorporated on September 9, 1993 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Philippines) (SEC) as a non-stock, non-profit foundation. It was through the idea of two young Christian computer professionals, one hearing and one deaf, that they decided to establish an educational institution that focuses on improving the computer skills of the deaf.

On November 4, 2008, MCCID became MCCID College of Technology, Inc.[1]

The school services the deaf communities of Quezon Province as well as in lower parts of Laguna and the whole of Batangas. The school is partially funded by Liliane Foundation Philippines.[6]

As a flagship project of LFP under its Region III Cluster, MCCID will open its IT program to deaf high school graduates from Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija and Zambales. Its main goal is to produce top quality deaf trainors who will then be deployed to different LFP partner-organizations (PO) nationwide as trainor experts/instructors.
