The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will hold a series of competency assessment and certification activities nationwide from August to December this year.
The National TVET Competency Assessment and Certification (NATCAC) Program targets to benefit 60,000 individuals coming from the ranks of trainers of public and private technical vocational institutions, public utility drivers, workers and other industry practitioners who want to undergo competency assessment, returning overseas Filipino workers and Filipino expatriates with relevant TVET experience and industry practitioners who are prospective competency assessors.
For this series, NATCAC will not be offered to graduating students or trainees of various TESDA-registered programs.
“With this program, we hope to upgrade the qualification of workers, trainers and assessors to a higher level to ensure better delivery of trainer services,” Villanueva said.
The assessment and certification services to be offered nationwide are free of charge.
The assessment will cover all qualifications in National Certificate II, III and IV levels, including those covered by specific government regulations such as Driving, Automotive Servicing and RAC Servicing (package-type air-conditioning).
The TESDA regional offices will select the qualifications to be covered during the schedules of assessment based on the market demand per region. The provincial offices, meanwhile, will prepare the final list of applicants per qualification, the assessment center, schedule and the assigned competency assessor.
The assessment centers will be also determined by the regional and provincial offices.
Applicants may download the NATCAC application form and the self-assessment guides for various qualifications at the TESDA Website (www.tesda.gov.ph)
