Pursuant to Republic Act No. 7796 which empowers TESDA to establish and
maintain a system of accrediting, coordinating, integrating, monitoring and evaluating
formal and non-formal WET programs; TESDA Board Resolution 98-03 which
approved the establishment of UTPRAS in the pursuit of a quality-assured WET
system; and in view of the need to continually improve our system of quality-assuring
WET programs, the following policies and guidelines are hereby adopted:
I. OBJECTIVES
For the purpose of this Circular, the following terms shall be defined as
follows:
15. Nominal Duration - refers to the estimated learning hours, which indicate the
time for an average person to achieve the learning outcomes of the units of
competency, inclusive of classroom contact time, laboratory/field
work/practicum and other methods of study/assignments as defined in the
TR. It is an indicative duration per qualification based on experts' consensus
or advice that will also serve as a guide to the TVET providers in the delivery
of the Qualification depending on specific guidelines to be issued by the
TESDA Director General.
17. Online program — refers to a WET program that can be accessed primarily
or entirely through the use of an internet-connected computer or mobile
device.
20. Program Registration — refers to the process by which TVET programs are
registered with TESDA. It is the first stage of the Unified TVET Program
Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS). Applying for program
registration indicates the intent of the institution to offer WET programs. The
registration process attests to the capacity of the Technical Vocational
Education and Training Institution (TVI) to deliver its stated curricula to
learners against the minimum standards prescribed in the Training
Regulations; or in the case of NTR program, as determined by an expert
panel in the absence of such. Registration begins with the program
registration documentation submitted to TESDA by the applicant WI. It also
includes the conduct of periodic compliance audits to ensure continuing
compliance to the requirements for programs granted Certificate of WET
Program Registration (CTPR).
24. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) - refers to the process in which the
individual's previous learning outside the formal system, which contributes to
the achievement of current competency/ies, can be assessed against the
relevant unit or units of competency and given recognition through the
issuance of the appropriate National Certificate or Certificate of Competency.
25. Technical Vocational Education and Training (WET) — refers to the education
or training process which involves, in addition to general education, the study
of technologies and related sciences and the acquisition of practical skills
relating to occupations in various sectors of economic and social life.
