The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) warns aspiring technical-vocational students to first check the names of the schools they will enroll in to verify if they have registered programs with TESDA or are genuinely TESDA-accredited.
TESDA, the government’s agency responsible in providing technical skills and training through its programs and services, extends its services to private institutions by giving them accreditation for certain courses offered.
There are many complaints that a number of private institutions have been claiming to be TESDA-accredited but are actually not. TESDA maintains a certain standard among its programs and its schools and accredited institutions.
Each TESDA-accredited institution undergoes a compulsory program registration in compliance with minimum requirements prescribed in training regulations. This is anchored on a competency-based system. The program registration is unified with program accreditation, a voluntary process of demonstrating quality assurance in programs offered.
For their common good, tech-voc schools should register and get proper accreditation from TESDA, and to help propagate quality skills training that will help in the development in the country.
Students may check via www.tesda.gov.ph the list of accredited schools.
