What is the ETEEAP?

The Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP) is a comprehensive program of identifying, assessing, validating, and assigning equivalent undergraduate levels of prior learning from formal, non-formal, and informal training and relevant work experiences and completion of competency enrichment and other program requirements toward the final granting of appropriate undergraduate academic degrees.

By establishing equivalency competence standards and a comprehensive assessment system employing written tests, interviews, skills demonstrations, and other creative assessment methodologies, higher education institutions may administer the competency-based evaluation. A Panel of Assessors is convened to determine the candidates’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to a particular discipline, and consequently, equivalent credits and appropriate certificates and degrees are awarded by deputized higher education institutions.

The mandate to implement the program is embodied in Executive Order 330 issued by President Fidel V. Ramos on May 13, 1996, as an offshoot of the recommendation of the First Employment Summit in September 1995.

In the year 2000, Enverga University formally launched the ETEEAP Program which has been producing excellent graduates for two decades.
