      Hi, Luisito!

      If you were asking whether you can skip the training part and just go right ahead to taking the assessment exam, from what we have been advised in the past, if you already have sufficient experience and you are confident that you can pass the assessment exam, you can skip the classes and jump right ahead to taking the exam. A National Certification will then be issued after you’ve passed the assessment. We’re not sure if there have been any recent changes to the process, though, so you might still want to call up TESDA to be sure.

      🙂
