You can enroll by going to the nearest TESDA-accredited center and submitting the required documents. Admission requirements vary depending on the school or training center that you will apply at, but they usually include the following: copy of Birth Certificate authenticated by NSO, copy of High school or College Diploma, certified true copy of Transcript of Records, 1×1 Pictures, and Certificate of Good Moral Character.
Yes, you can enroll online, but, currently, the number of available courses is still limited so you might want to browse around for the course that you want.

Magtatanong lang po kung sa tesda lang po ba mismo meron o may school po ba sa occidental mindoro na pwede ako makapag enroll?
Hi, Jasmine!
As far as we know, both TESDA centers and private training centers can offer TESDA courses (provided that the latter passed TESDA’s requirements).
Unfortunately, right now there are neither TESDA affiliated nor private training centers in Mindoro listed on TESDA’s list of institutions authorized to offer this course. We’re not sure if there have been any recent changes to that list, though, so you might want to call the nearest TESDA office to be sure.
http://www.courses.com.ph/tesda-regional-provincial-district-offices/
On a side note, there are other training centers a bit far from Mindoro that do offer the course. Should you be interested, you can check them out on the page below:

Hello!
Good afternoon po Mam/Sir,
Ask po ba ang pinakamalapit sa amin na TESDA dito sa Pasig? And still available pa rin po ba ang Photography NC II? Willing po kasi ako. Salamat po! 😀
Hi, Carla!
That would probably be TESDA PaMaMariSan (Pasig, Mandaluyong, Makati, Marikina, San Juan) in Mandaluyong.
http://www.courses.com.ph/tesda-regional-provincial-district-offices/
There are training centers that are currently offering the course; however, we’re not sure if any of them are actually connected to TESDA.

hi, ask ko lng po after passing the ncII exam, can i use my certificate to work abroad? and what if i enrolled different course before and i didn’t get my certificate what should i gonna do?, is electron (training center) is accredited from tesda, right? thanks!
Hi, Neil!
We’ve seen companies based overseas that list TESDA certificates as one of their employment requirements, so we’re guessing yes, although that may still vary per company.
We were advised that you can take the NC exam without necessarily enrolling in the classes, so you can probably just go ahead and take the NC exam so you can get your certificate.
We’re not really sure about that. You can find the list of training centers authorized to offer TESDA courses on this page, though.
http://www.tesda.gov.ph/inc/tvi.aspx

I would like to Ask. If the course can also be applicable for students that are studying in other colleges
Hi, Shannen!
As far as we know, TESDA doesn’t have any rules against people who are currently enrolled in other institutions from enrolling in any of their training centers. We’re not too sure about private schools or training that have been authorized by TESDA to offer TESDA courses, though, so you might want to check with the school or training center that you are thinking of enrolling at so they can give you a more accurate reply.

good afternoon sir pwede po bang mag-enrol sa course na photography ang hindi high school graduate?
Hi, Jessirie!
Different schools and courses have different requirements, so it’s best if you’ll check with the school or training center that offers the course to see if they require a high school diploma prior to admission.

On a side note, if you need a high school diploma but do not have the time or means to finish high school the traditional way, you might want to check our articles on the Alternative Learning System program to see if it will work for you.
