TESDA Program Training Certification?

Normally, in the programs from other educational institutions, once you complete a course you will get a Training Certificate but TESDA currently does not give out training certificate for these online programs. However, once you finish the course and if you are 100% sure you are ready, you may take a face to face assessment for National Certification at any TESDA accredited assessment center.

If you don’t want to take the face-to-face assessment of TESDA, it’s okay. Signing up for any of the available courses and completing it, is a great opportunity to gain new skills or enhance your current one. This way you become more valuable in the workplace. The more skills you have, the more employable you become.
