is a system established by the TESDA Board to ensure the quality of technical vocational education and training programs in the Philippines. It’s a two-stage process involving mandatory registration of programs with TESDA and a voluntary accreditation process.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Registration (Mandatory):
Purpose: To ensure that TVET programs meet minimum standards set by TESDA.
Requirements: TVET institutions must comply with requirements outlined in training regulations, including curriculum, faculty qualifications, facilities, and equipment.
Outcome: Successful registration leads to the issuance of a Certificate of Program Registration (CoPR) and listing of the program in the TESDA Compendium of Registered Programs.

Accreditation (Voluntary):
Purpose: To recognize TVET institutions that have implemented quality management systems and meet the criteria set by an accrediting body.
Basis: The Philippine TVET Quality Award framework, which is based on the Philippine Quality Award.
Benefits: Accreditation provides a form of recognition that the program or institution has met specific quality standards.
