Hi, Carla!
As much as we’d like to help with your concern, we’re not affiliated with TESDA, so we’re afraid we can’t answer that question for you. We suggest you call the nearest TESDA office to inform them of your situation. Hopefully, they might be able to arrange something for you.

Hi, good day! I’m an undergraduate but I’m already working. I still want to earn a degree or at least take an online course. Glad I discovered this site. But I want some advice or assistance on what to do first or where to really start.
Any suggestions on which online schools/programs are good or accredited?
Thanks. Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, Neri!
Philippine Women’s University is authorized to offer the bachelor’s program through their ETEEAP program. Usually, ETEEAP courses can be partly or wholly taken online, so you might want to check with them to see if you can study online.
UP Open University also has Communication Arts as part of their course offerings, but it’s only an associate program, so you might still have to find another way to continue it to a bachelor’s later.
Unfortunately, right now, they’re the only ones that we know. We suggest you get in touch with them directly so they can provide you with more accurate and detailed information.

Interesting? May I hasten to ask, how much per course for each term? thanks…….
