Assessment and Certification

Competency Assessment and Certification Program serves to elevate the status of and professionalize skilled occupations. Passing the competency assessment confirms that a TESD graduate or a worker of a particular qualification can demonstrate the standards of competence expected at the workplace. Now more and more employers require job applicants to present the TESDA certification before considering them for the job. A National Certificate serves as a badge to attest that the individual belongs to the league of elite skilled workers called TESDA Specialistas.

TESDA-X has accredited assessment centers as well as the competency assessors who conduct competency assessment process for persons applying for certification.

TESDA-X also has a Labor Market Information System that serves as the repository of skilled TVET graduates or NC holders looking for work.
