Procedure for Application and Assessment of Learning

The procedure for application and assessment  of learning should consist, at a minimum, of the following:

1. The individual applicant secures the application form from any deputized HEI, or downloads the form from the CHED website, ched.gov.ph, submits the completed form, along with the supporting evidence that established his/her qualifications for the program, and pays appropriate application fees to a deputized HEI of his/her choice.

2. The accepting HEI reviews the application, interviews the applicant, and informs him/her in writing of the results of the review and interview.

3. Upon approval of the application, the deputized HEI requires the applicant (candidate) to prepare and submit his/her portfolio with the assistance of the institution’s career counselor/adviser within an agreed period of time. This portfolio should include descriptions of prior learning in the context of learning outcomes. The employer concerned should certify all experiences cited by the candidate as having been completed whole in employment;

4. Upon receipt of the portfolio, the HEI convenes a panel of assessors to conduct the evaluation. Tests or other forms and instruments of assessments, e.g. interviews, actual demonstration of claimed knowledge and skills, written examination, and others that are appropriate to the candidate’s needs may be used as needed;

5. After completing the evaluation, the panel of assessors determines the amount of equivalent credit that will be awarded to the candidate by matching the demonstrated training and learning from prior learning of the candidate with the learning outcomes and standards of the subject or course for which the candidate seeks accreditation and equivalency. A rubric or a similar tool shall be developed for the purpose;

6. A candidate may choose from a variety of learning pathways including E-Learning, Mobile learning, or Blended learning in the completion of his/her deficiencies while outside the institution’s physical location. Institutions may use LMS and/or any mode of communication not limited to social media facilitating the acquisition, completion not limited to social media facilitating acquisition, completion, and assessment of students’ learning.

7. The accomplished rubric or any situation or any similar instrument that documents the learning of the candidates from prior learning should be maintained as a permanent official record in the ETEEAP Office of the institution.

8. After satisfying all the learning outcomes and appropriate assessment criteria for the course, and having complied with the requirements prescribed by CHED and the institution for completion of the course, the candidate is awarded the appropriate equivalency credit for an academic degree;

9. Graduates of the ETEEAP programs are qualified to take the appropriate licensure examinations unless otherwise provided by law.
