    • Hi, Ceecee!

      We’re sorry, but we’re not sure about that. We suggest you call TESDA directly so they can answer that question for you.

  7. Hi i am a Electrician/technician.. I just want to inquire about taking a welding course.. But i dont know what course should best fit for me i want to use that course for applying jobs overseas.. And can i ask how much that is?

    • Hi, Mark!

      We’re not that familiar with the different welding courses either, so we’re afraid we won’t be much help when it comes to choosing the best welding course. We suggest you browse employment sites like jobstreet.com or jobsdb for job ads related to welding. They might give you an idea of which welding course is usually preferred by companies. As for the training fee, that depends on the training center, so it’s best if you’ll get in touch with the center you’re thinking of enrolling at. 🙂
