THE ASSESSMENT SERVICES

The strong involvement and participation of all the stakeholders, especially with the companies and schools, through continuous dialogues is pursued by CCCI to sustain the Assessment, Certification and Accreditation Services (ACAS). The assessment service of the chamber is design for individuals with bundle of skills identified by industries as requirements to attain a competitive workforce.

There are 3 components:

1. Basic Qualification Certificate (BQC) Assessment

The BQC assessment is an industry certification that attests to the readiness of senior high graduates for specific job profile and job functions identified by the industries. It specifies the bundle of competencies acquired through Dual Training (in-school classes and at least 800 hours of curriculum-driven company immersion).

Currently, CCCI identified

3. Recognition of Prior Learning/ Certificate of Current Competencies

This is an increasing demand for the development of significant work skills that match standards and workplace competencies. TESDA Attempts to address this through their vocational training program or courses. However, it does not recognize the years of experience of supervisors or managers in their own business.

The recognition of prior learning is the acknowledgment of a person’s skills and knowledge acquired through previous training/ work life experience, and to award a TVET qualification upon proof of competence through a portfolio assessment without prior attendance in a TVET training program. The tools and guidelines for the Recognition of Prior Learning are still to be developed by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc.
