On February 10, 2012, the ISO 9001:2008 certification was awarded to TESDA by TUV SUD PSB Philippines, Inc. in the presence of His Excellency, President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III, President of the Republic of the Philippines.

TESDA has been certified in the areas of Program Registration, Assessment and Certification

Good news. . .

Last March 12, 2012, European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) inspectors verified and confirmed that TESDA has more than complied with its committed corrective actions.

EMSA’s affirmation of our compliance to international standards further enhances the recognition and integrity of TESDA’s management of training, assessment and certification program for seafarers.

The performance of the TVET sector and every TVI will be monitored using the P-E-G-A-C-E (Profiled, Enrolled, Graduates, Assessed, Certified, and Employed) parameters. For 2011, the performance of Mindanao registered below all the national performance levels except in the Profiling.

Worth noting is the performance of Region X which fared better than the national average performance in all parameters.

A more serious institution level monitoring and reporting is expected from all the TVIs in the country.

Mindanao TVET Roadmap

How DepEd will ensure that the Junior and Senior HS curricula respond to the Training Regulation requirements (NC-I and NC-II respectively).

Wider and stronger industry-academe partnerships at basic education, TVET and higher education levels.

Continuous development of TVET teachers in Basic Education impacting not only on TESDA but on the TVET sector and the TVIs.

OTHER Challenges and Concerns

Need for TESDA to review TRs, policies, circulars for consistency check vis-à-vis K–12.(e.g. entry requirements in TRs).

Massive capability build-up in trainers/assessors development, curriculum and learning materials and assessment tools development.

Promote / advocate development and offering of programs in higher levels of technology

OTHER Challenges and Concerns

The adoption of TVET (NC-I and NC-II respectively) in Junior and Senior HS compels the expansion of institutional and human infrastructure in competency assessment and certification.

More customer-friendly assessment and certification policies, guidelines and procedures to be looked into.

OTHER Challenges and Concerns

The Philippine Qualification Framework (PQF) will support the development and maintenance of pathways and equivalencies which provide access to qualifications and assist people to move easily and readily between the different education and training sector and between these sectors and the labor market.

ISO Certification implication to continual improvement on actual implementation of assessment and certification. (MAINTAIN/ SUSTAIN)

OTHER Challenges and Concerns

or

Partnership with industry and all stakeholders in the implementation of Assessment and Certification, not only to tap new markets, but to expand infrastructure for assessment and certification.
