COST LABELS

✅ 100% Free — learning and the listed credential or badge are free

🎓 Free Course + Free Certificate — a free completion certificate is available after meeting the provider’s requirements

⚠️ Free to Learn — course access is free, but there is no included certificate or an optional credential costs extra

📝 Free Training + Separate Assessment — learning is free, but a professional or TESDA competency assessment is separate

IMPORTANT TESDA REMINDER

Completing a TESDA Online Program course does not automatically give you a National Certificate.

A TESDA Certificate of Completion shows that you completed the online course. A National Certificate or Certificate of Competency requires a separate competency assessment through a TESDA-accredited assessment center.

TESDA assessment fees vary by qualification. Instead of using potentially outdated amounts, affected comments include links to TESDA’s live promulgated assessment-fee table and accredited assessment-center directory.

“₱0” covers course access and specifically confirmed free credentials. It does not include internet data, devices, software upgrades, transportation, tools, materials, examination fees, or other personal expenses unless explicitly stated.

All links in this directory are official or highly credible educational sources. No affiliate links.

Information and links audited on September 13, 2026. Course availability, enrollment periods, certificate rules, and assessment fees can change.
