TVET SITUATIONER

One of the major reforms instituted by TESDA is the adoption of competency-based TVET system.Under competency-based TVET, TESDA draws up competency standards in partnership with industry, which are officially promulgated by the TESDA Board as Training Regulations.

The Training Regulations include the minimum training standards by which programs are qualified and registered. The process takes into consideration four essential components of training delivery: the curriculum, the qualification of trainors, the tools and equipment available as well as training facilities.

All technical vocational education and training programs offered by public and private technical institutions are required to get prior authority from TESDA through a mandatory process of Program Registration.The same competency standards become the basis for competency assessment which has been declared by the TESDA Board as mandatory.
