I have mentioned on my previous post: Programming NCIV Here I Go, that I took the qualifying exam of TESDA which I thought a Programming NCIV qualification. I was wrong. It was an ICT proficiency exam by NCC (National Computer Center of the Philippines) which is required by TESDA for TVET trainers of Region 6 which I assumed as the said competency certification. This mean that I need to take the exam again from TESDA to acquire a level 4 qualification.

Now, regarding the ICT proficiency exam which is a two part test: 1 hour written exam and 6 hours hands-on problem in programming, I was informed last Friday by TESDA office in Iloilo and Capiz that I passed the exam. Not only that I’ve scored a high score, making me to top the exam in our province and the whole Region 6 (out of those who take the exam in the Region during that schedule). I was so happy when I’ve heard the news and almost jump for joy. I was expecting for the results for months now and really prayed to God to let Him give me this qualification. I believe that I need this one not for fame or what but for self-fulfillment.

This is the fruit of my hard work during school days and I thank God for giving me a clear mind and strength during that time. Now, TESDA endorse me to become one of the assessor of the Programming NCIV qualifying exam and will assess TVET trainers in Capiz and Iloilo later this month.

Programming NCIV Here I Go!

Tomorrow, I will take one of the qualification required by the institution where I am currently working as a full time Computer instructor. The qualification is required by TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) to schools that offers technical courses such as the ladderized Computer Science course. Next year, teachers in TESDA schools will not be allowed to teach computer subjects if they will not pass any of the certification required by TESDA. That’s why I need to take the qualification exam for me to still teach the programming subjects. This qualification is called Programming NC IV (National Certification Level 4). Actually, I already passed the PCO NCII qualification and the Assessors course last year and I hope this level 4 qualification will add up to my list of credentials.

The said examination is composed of two types of exams. One is the 3 hours written exam and 6 hours hands-on programming examination. According to TESDA, NCC (National Computer Center of the Philippines) will be the one who will conduct the said exam. These event is the reason why I will be out for a couple of days. Actually the said Programming NCIV competency exam is only one day but I need to be on the testing center 30 minutes before the exam and since its in Iloilo, I need to stay there a day before the test. So, this afternoon I will be riding and will travel the long road to Iloilo and will look for a place to stay there for two nights and prepare myself for the exam.

I wasn’t able to review topics that might be on the written exam and been idle with my programming skills lately because of SEO coming to picture in my life. When I was younger, even I don’t have any programming projects, I still create programs using C Language and Visual Basic just for fun. I don’t know if I could still recall those days when I am building a chess program. I hope so and I hope that I am equipped enough to pass the said test of programming skills and knowledge. Ready or not, TESDA’s Programming NCIV examination here I go!

Update: Someone told me, “You passed!” Weeh…
