Hi everything! ???? Earlier today, I finished my third online course. It feels so good to do something productive while on quarantine. Last April 13, I enrolled myself in the TESDA Online Program (TOP). TOP offers 68 online courses for free and they are all self-paced. I took courses under Agriculture, Entrepreneurship and 21st Century Skills. The topics in these courses are so useful and timely. Since I love gardening, it broadened my knowledge about growing plants and the importance of having a sustainable garden or “survival garden” in our backyards. Im also sharing some notes under Managing Your Personal Finances. Since the ECQ has been extended until May 15, I thought of sharing this with you. Enrollment is quick and easy. Just go to e-tesda.gov.ph. May certificate din after! ????

Vickie, who loves gardening, said the topics discussed are "useful and timely." 

"It broadened my knowledge about growing plants and the importance of having a sustainable garden or 'survival garden' in our backyards," she said.

The government has encouraged Filipinos, especially those in the cities, to plant vegetables to ensure food sufficiency. They also give away seeds and seedlings.

Aside from agriculture, TOP offers 68 online courses on electrical and electronics, tourism,  food processing, health care, and many others.

Tuition is free and face-to-face assessment is available after course completion, according to the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.

To enroll, visit e-tesda.gov.ph and create an account. —MGP, GMA News
