Pangasinan State University Open University Systems (PSU-OUS)
Pangasinan State University is one of the known universities outside Manila in the north with 8 strategically located campuses in the province. It is also one of the multi-awarded state universities in the whole country.
Besides the efficient implementation of the ETEEAP, it is also efficient in conducting and awarding graduate programs both on-campus and off-campus with their open university systems. To know more about them, you can visit their page with the image link below.
Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas (PCU-Dasma)
Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas is one of the campuses of PCU, a private university in the Philippines. This institution has produced quality students with their regular undergraduate programs and Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) under their ETEEAP.
They also offer graduate degrees under their regular graduate programs which is open for Filipinos and foreign nationals.
Most state (and some private) universities offer Bachelor of Industrial Technology with the corresponding majors to the applicants’ skills under their ETEEAP. But what are these degrees? Are they considered bachelors degree? And what are their equivalent?
Let us take a closer look at this field. We will use the Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Order, which was signed and released on September 5, 2023 by CHED and called CMO-No-13-Series of 2023-BInd-Tech (CMO-13-S2023).
We only uploaded the image of the first 5 pages on this post as this is a 161-page document. If you want to see all the pages, you may click/tap on the links to either the CHED website or from our resource link below. Documents from these links contain exactly the same information.
We don’t need to expound about this topic as the information on first 5 pages of the CMO on the following images are enough to explain what these programs are and their equivalent. Suffice to mention here the information found at Section 5, number 5 on page 4. Here is what it says:
Allied programs for Industrial Technology are Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Management, Statistics, Business Administration, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics Engineering and Engineering Technology.

You may have skills that you acquired from your years of experiences in your workplace but you cannot produce certificates to prove such except for the recommendations and employment certificates provided by your employer. Many HEIs are requiring skill-specified certificates that were earned from learning institutions and training centers and most of them accept those that were taken up online.
We have a few suggestions here that may help you. These are already established online learning sites and some of their learning modules are used by some universities and colleges as part of their learning resources.
Create an account with LinkedInhere and complete your profile. Then visit their learning siteshere where you can find their free lessons and take up an examination at the end of each lesson. You can then download the certificates that you can use as credentials.
They have one month free trial on premium accounts that you may want to take advantage of where you can find premium lessons. You may continue with the paid premium account at the end of the trial period if you wish.
Google also offers online lessons in different topics. They have free lessons but if you want to earn a certificate, you need to pay a certain amount for each examination that you take up. You may visit their learning site here.
The Philippine government has set up a department that provides free training on different skills where one can earn a certificate at the end. You may visit their website here, and their e-learning site here.
This page contains the application form that need to be completed and submitted to the school where you want to enroll (NOT to CHED). For those who need to prepare other required documents for their ETEEAP application, we have links to the samples at the bottom of the page, below the images. You may visit the pages where these documents were described in details along with their downloadable and editable versions.
As for the application form, the editable version on Microsoft word can be downloaded here, or on the the link located below the image number 5.

Why are reading skills very important, and what role does it play in our everyday life? How does reading help us understand ETEEAP better and help us get to the right track towards our long-awaited secular degree? An article from the Philippine Star has the following:
“Reading proficiency is essential for a wide variety of human activities – from following instructions in a manual; to finding out the who, what, when, where, and why of an event; to communicating with others for a specific purpose or transaction,” (Italicization is ours)
Here is the whole article taken from the Philippine Star published on December 3, 2019. We can learn a lot about it especially now that distractions abound along with the shortened attention span of not only the younger generation but the older ones as well, and it’s not too late to do something about it. Please read on.
Philippines lowest in reading comprehension among 79 countries
Among 79 participating countries, the Philippines scored the lowest in reading comprehension in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), according to the results released Dec. 3, 2019..The STAR / Edd Gumban, file
MANILA, Philippines — Among 79 participating countries and economies, the Philippines scored the lowest in reading comprehension in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), according to the results released Tuesday.
PISA is a worldwide study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that examines students’ knowledge in reading, mathematics, and science.
Reading was the main subject assessed among 15-year old students in the 2018 PISA. The Philippines had an average reading score of 340, more than 200 points below China (555) and more than 100 points less than the OECD average (487).
In the Philippines, boys’ and girls’ performances in reading both ranked lowest among PISA-participating countries.
“Reading proficiency is essential for a wide variety of human activities – from following instructions in a manual; to finding out the who, what, when, where, and why of an event; to communicating with others for a specific purpose or transaction,” the summary of the PISA 2018 results reads.
The Philippines also placed the second-lowest in mathematics (353), along with Panama, and science (357). Only the Dominican Republic scored lower in these categories.
China also led the ranking in mathematics and science. The OECD average for mathematics is 489 and the average for science is 483.
“Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning outcomes attained around the world, and allow educators and policymakers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries,” a post on the OECD website reads.
According to the PISA 2018 profile of the Philippines, socio-economic status accounts for 18% of the variance in reading performance in the country, compared to the OECD average of 12%.
The country has the largest percentage of low performers in reading among socio-economically disadvantaged students.
The profile noted that average class sizes of 15-year olds in the Philippines are the largest, and the ratio of students to teaching staff in socio-economically disadvantaged schools is the highest.
The Philippines also had the highest percentage of students reporting being bullied at least a few times a month.
