Abstract

This paper presents the online educational model and initial results of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) online program in the Philippines. The program was launched in March 2012, with an attempt for wider reach and to reduce the expenditures incurred by the trainees. To date, TESDA offers four online courses with over 40,000 registered users (3,000 for at least 10 countries outside the Philippines). TESDA’s re-designed online education model has two main features: 1) Short-term courses are broken down into job-centered micro-courses; and, 2) Center-based skills training now follow a “learn-practice-certify-employ” hybrid approach. Current and future developments on the project will also be presented.
