THE TECHNICAL Education and Skills Development Authority is offering a free online course on Covid19 prevention for schools, students and parents.

TESDA Director General Danilo Cruz said that public and private schools, colleges and universities may take online course designed to prevent the spread of the deadly virus among the faculty and studentry.

“As we set to open our schools for full face-to-face classes, we are inviting everyone to enroll in our free online courses related to Covid19 management to help prevent the spread of the virus and adapt to the changes brought by it,” he said.

The TESDA chief said that the course is available at e-tesda.gov.ph and can be easily accessed by the public anytime and anywhere using their internet-capable smartphones, computers or laptops.

Cruz noted that TESDA has linked free online courses about Covid19 management from other open sources, such as the “Contact Tracing Course” of the Johns Hopkins University, and “Covid19: How to put on and remove personal protective equipment” and “Standard precautions: Hand hygiene” of the World Health Organization, among others.

Those who will finish the course will receive an electronic certificate of completion. Those who complete courses for full qualifications can undergo a competency assessment and receive a National Certificate.
