Training Title: COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING FOR DPWH ENGINEERS

Date: March 2-16, 2020 – March 15-28 2022

No. of Hours: 168 Credit Hours of Technical Training

DPWH engineers braved a series of extensive lectures, laboratory works, field inspection,

group presentations, and on-the-job training on DPWH projects within the vicinity of Region

II to improve further their competencies in our job.

The lectures were divided in different modules which covered the different scopes of the

department such as the Planning, Procurement, Finance, Construction, Quality Assurance, and

Maintenance works. At each end of the modules, presentation of activities and examination

were conducted to evaluate the participant’s learning.

Lecturers, who are experts on their own fields, also shared actual field stories and experiences

that provided the participants with practical tips and efficient methods needed for their

advancement.

The training also covered and dissected all Department Orders which are necessary in a

project supervision and implementation.

The training program was capped with a written examination prepared by the engineers from

the Bureau of Quality and Standards (BQS) to gauge the knowledge and skills acquired by the

participants during the program.

The training program aims to ensure that DPWH field engineers continuously improve and

keep pace with the trends in the infrastructure industry, especially now that the demand for

infrastructure work arises given the aggressive infra thrust of the government for the next

years.

The training ended with a Graduation Ceremony and awarding of Certificates.
