It's easy: Applicants should visit the TESDA website (www.tesda.gov.ph/Education or Barangay) or by clicking the Online Application sites icon.
Then the applicant will receive a confirmation via e-mail with a Learner’s ID or click the “barangay kasanayan para sa kabuhayan at kapayapaan.
Mamondiong said that the aspirant should submit the application form to the respective TESDA Provincial Offices.
Once the applicant has chosen the preferred technical vocational course, the application form will be forwarded to the Technological Institutions or private-owned TVET provider.
After the application has been processed at the TESDA Provincial Office, the aspirant will receive an email containing an information as to the date of training and venue of training institution.
Applicants may also choose their preferred language when applying online. It could be in English, Pilipino, Visaya and Ilocano.
