Call Center Agents in the Philippines



A call center agent in the Philippines, also known as a customer service associate or customer service representative, is a person who works in a call center.

Depending on the clients of the company they are working for, call center agents may be responsible for answering customer inquiries, selling products or services, providing directory assistance, booking flights or hotel reservations, following up on late payments, or following up on customers who have expressed their desire to cancel their subscription or membership to a particular service or product.

A sub-group of call center agents, Technical Service Representatives (TSRs), are responsible for assisting customers with computer-related concerns such as troubleshooting and account setup.

  1. What about online courses? Will they be honored? I’m a household cook and have been wanting to take one. Thanks.

    • Good day! 🙂

      It does; however, for now, the available courses are still limited. You can find the list of online courses offered by TESDA on their website.

    • Hi, Normillah!

      Training duration varies per course; however, you can find the minimum training duration if you click on the specific TESDA course that you are interested in. Please note that it is just the minimum training duration and might actually last longer depending on the school or training center offering the course.
