What is TESDA Online Program?
Also known as TOP, the TESDA Online Program is an initiative of the Philippine Government to provide technical education through the use of the internet.
It means that if you have a computer, desktop or laptop, a tablet, or even a smartphone, you can access TESDA online courses, wherever you are as long as you have an internet connection.
It’s also available 24/7 and you can take the course at your own pace.
Anyone can take this program but it’s specially created for students, out-of-school youths, unemployed adults, workers, professionals, and OFWs who would like to learn a new skill or upgrade their current skill set.

Hi,
I just want to ask if what is the pros of getting this? or it is better to get the NC right away? if we are proven finished reading this do we need to still study it on tesda school or we can go straight to assesment?..
Thank you.
taking the online course can give you a bit of background about the course. this can help you prepare for the actual NC training or certification. if you think you’re ready to take the certification without having to take the actual training, then i believe you can do unless the training is required. some courses requires actual training before certification.
