 PART IV: ORIENTATION

Before we move on to the next assessment proper, I would like to discuss with you important concepts and significant information
regarding your assessment

 Purpose of Assessment
Ask the candidates: “What is the purpose of going through this assessment?” In addition, you should also state that:

“This assessment is for certification of your competence in a particular skill which qualifies you for jobs that may require national
certificate”

 The Assessment Center

Provide a brief description of your institution. Give a quick tour by telling the candidates directions to some room locations and
facilities. Ex. “If you walk straight this hall, turn left when you reach the end and you’ll see our kitchen and dining area. It is
where you’ll perform your demo later”

 The Tools, Materials, Equipment and Consumables

Explain the tools and materials needed for the assessment based on your competency

 The PPE
Explain Personal Protective Equipment and their uses in times of hazards and threats in the work area. Cite possible accidents
or threats that could happen during the assessment and how preventive measures are done to avoid it.

 Confidentiality of Results of Assessment

“The Assessment Package is kept in a secured place and rest assure that non- related parties do not have access to any of these
documents. Only the assessment center and your HR or Supervisor may have a copy of these upon request.”

 Two Results of Assessment (C and NYC)

“We only have two results of the assessment: COMPETENT and NYC or NOT YET COMPETENT. If you are found competent, you
will receive a certificate from TESDA. However, if your outcome is NYC, you have to be scheduled for re-assessment.”

 Appeal Process
“If after your result is announced and you are unhappy with your assessment result or you feel that there is something wrong
with the assessment process that leads you to an undesirable outcome, we have an Appeal Process wherein you can write an
appeal letter to the assessment venue manager and submit it before the assessment ends.”

In a short while we will already proceed with the actual assessment process.
