      Hi, Pilar!

      We’re sorry, but we have no available information regarding the scope of the Commercial Cooking course for grade 9 students. Have you tried to ask your teachers? They’re probably in a better position to answer that question for you.

      🙂

    sir ask ko lang po kung pwede kumuha ng nc ii commercial cooking kahit hindi nakatapos ng high school.

    • courses.com.ph 03/14/2014

      Hi, Franz!

      TESDA didn’t specify whether a high school diploma is needed for this course. It’s the school/training center that decides if they’re going to impose additional requirements on top of the basic requirements that TESDA requires, so it’s best if you’ll contact the school/training center you’re thinking of enrolling at so they can give you an accurate and more detailed response.

      🙂

    • courses.com.ph 03/05/2014

      Hi, Franz!

      As far as we know, as long as you passed the National Certification (NC II, III, or IV) exam, you can.
      🙂

    kailangan po pa mag undergo ng training ng Commercial Cooking??kac ung certificate requirement ko lng…!!

    • courses.com.ph 05/02/2013

      Hi, Bryan.

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      According to TESDA, people interested in getting a certification can take the assessment exam without taking the training. Unless the individual is confident of his knowledge; skills; and experiences, they strongly encourage that he try to take the training first to refresh or update his knowledge.

      For good measure, try to ask the specific training center or school where you wish to take the training if that would be necessary as they might have a different policy.

      🙂

  39. eddy 04/24/2013

    san po ba pwede mg file ng complain? i have issues regarding the school kung saan ako po ay isang comcuk trainor.

    mgkano po ba honorarium sa mga trainors ng comcuk class and how long po ba bago makuha ang check?

    • courses.com.ph 04/24/2013

      Hi, Eddy!

      We’re sorry, but we have no available information regarding honoraria for TESDA courses. We’re guessing that that would be at the discretion of the school or training center, but you might also want to ask TESDA for more accurate and detailed information.

    Hi, I took the training 2 years ago, that was commercial cooking and Baking and pastry NC2… I was not able to get it until now, what do I need to bring to get it? Thanks in advance.

    • courses.com.ph 03/23/2013

      Hi, Lex!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      We’re not quite sure what you meant when you said you weren’t able to get something until now. Were you referring to the assessment exam or the certificate that you passed the assessment? Either way, it would probably be best if you’ll get in touch with the officials of the assessment center where you’re planning to take/ where you took the exam so they can give you a list of the requirements.

      Yes, ABBA Institute of Technology Inc. in Delgado St. Iloilo City offers this course. We’re not affiliated with them, though, so it’s best if you’ll contact them directly so they can give you a more accurate response regarding the tuition fee. 🙂

    Thanks and God bless.

    • courses.com.ph 06/07/2012

      Hi, Mae!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      Yes, there are a lot of schools/training centers that offer commercial cooking classes in Quezon City. We’re just not sure exactly how long the classes are going to last as the duration indicated is based on number of hours and not days. You can find the list of schools/training centers and other relevant information about them on this page:
      http://www.tesda.gov.ph/inc/tvisearch.aspx?duration=commercial%20cooking

      We have no available information about the tuition fees in these schools/training centers, but if you don’t want to spend a lot, you could probably call the TESDA offices near your place to ask if they are offering commercial cooking classes in their training centers.
      http://www.courses.com.ph/tesda-regional-offices/

      Good luck! 🙂

    • courses.com.ph 06/05/2012

      Hi, Jhoef!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      From what we’ve gathered, there are commercial cooking classes offered at TESDA Manila. We just don’t know about the exact dates for enrollment or the schedule. It’s best if you’ll contact TESDA directly using the contact information above so they can give you an accurate and more detailed response.

      Good luck! 🙂

  52. Marco Tubello 06/02/2012

    Hi, Can I Ask for the commercial cooking course?
    Pwd na po ba i-Convert ung Certificate ng Commercial cooking NC II into a PRC Licensed?
    Thank You!

    • courses.com.ph 06/05/2012

      Hi, Marco!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      We’re not really sure, but we haven’t heard of a PRC licensure examination related to cooking so far. If you want to be sure, you could probably contact PRC and ask their official representatives directly.

      🙂

  53. Jayson 06/01/2012

    Do you know any school that offers Commercial Cooking in Quezon City? Maybe a 6 months course. Thanks for you reply.

  54. Annabelle de Leon 05/01/2012

    Hi. Please email me when is the next schedule of classes for Commercial Cooking NC II or NC III. Can I enrol directliy to NC III without taking NC II? How much is the tuition fee? I am 48 years old with basic knowledge in cooking and plan to manage my own restaurant. I believe what I will learn from your school will help me a lot in managing my own business.
    Looking forward to your immediate reply. Thank you very much!

      Hi, Belle!
      Thanks for visiting our site. Schedules vary depending on the school offering the course. The same goes for skipping NC levels, some schools may require you to go through all levels, some schools may allow you to skip. As far as we know, TESDA courses are offered for free; however, we’re not sure if this applies to all schools. It’s best if you’ll contact the school directly so they can give you a more accurate response. You can find the list of TESDA-accredited schools offering Commercial Cooking classes on this page. 🙂
