86 CCA students now TESDA certified

ANGELES CITY – Some 86 students at the City College of Angeles (CCA) have passed the competency assessment for various programs facilitated by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

The CCA students who passed the March 14 and March 15 evaluation are now entitled to receive a National Certification II (NCII) in their respective areas of specialization namely Tour Guiding, Front Office and Events Management Services.

All 41 students who underwent the TESDA evaluation under the Tour Guiding Services program have successfully passed the examination. Also, a 100% passing rate was recorded with 40 CCA students passing the valuation under the Front Office Services program.

On the other hand, CCA posted an 80 percent passing rate with 25 students obtaining the TESDA NCII certification under the Events Management Services program.

For his part, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan extended his congratulations to all the students who passed the TESDA assessment. He added that “the assessment result strongly manifests CCA’s vow in providing quality education to the youth of the city.”

“This recent attainment solidifies our claim that our very own college is indeed an institution committed to excellence. This further reveals that our local government through CCA is successful at equipping our students with essential skills making them employable and globally competitive,” Pamintuan added.

According to TESDA, the assessment process seeks to determine whether the graduate or worker can perform to the standards expected in the workplace based on the defined competency standards.

Therefore, the NCII is an added credential and a proof of skills proficiency especially to the students of CCA who will seek employment after graduation. This assessment ensures the productivity, quality and global competitiveness of the middle-level workers.— AC-CIO
