A “technical audit teams” has been created to check the equipment and facilities of TVIs .On the other hand"Barangay Kasanayan para sa Kabuhayan at Kapayapaan (BKKK)" scouts every barangay for scholars. According to Mamondiong, his administration would not tolerate such illegal practice as it would be a cause of corruption. Due to fake scholars, a big chunk of TESDA funds go to waste. Commission on Audit (COA) reports showed that in the previous administration, fake scholars are widespread. There were no training sessions held among TVIs. Mamondiong also said that what surprising was that some TVIs could get a voucher or scholarship slot inside the TESDA even without the proper training being held. These cohorts who serve as "operators" also get a chunk of money through the fraudulent transactions with TVIs and training institutions. Mamondiong ordered the provincial and regional TESDA offices off to facilitate the arrest of the suspects linked to the fake scholars. Meanwhile, OFWs can also study their desired skills through the online courses offered by TESDA. Being abroad should not hinder you to learn new skills. OFWs can also learn at their own pace. TESDA has scheduled to conduct an assessment in different countries abroad. TESDA also said that the online courses are also open for non-OFWS. To get your certificate, you may need to go to the accredited assessment centers after the online course.

According to Mamondiong, his administration would not tolerate such illegal practice as it would be a cause of corruption. Due to fake scholars, a big chunk of TESDA funds go to waste.

Commission on Audit (COA) reports showed that in the previous administration, fake scholars are widespread. There were no training sessions held among TVIs.

Mamondiong also said that what surprising was that some TVIs could get a voucher or scholarship slot inside the TESDA even without the proper training being held.

These cohorts who serve as "operators" also get a chunk of money through the fraudulent transactions with TVIs and training institutions.

Mamondiong ordered the provincial and regional TESDA offices off to facilitate the arrest of the suspects linked to the fake scholars.

Meanwhile, OFWs can also study their desired skills through the online courses offered by TESDA.
Being abroad should not hinder you to learn new skills. OFWs can also learn at their own pace. TESDA has scheduled to conduct an assessment in different countries abroad.
TESDA also said that the online courses are also open for non-OFWS. To get your certificate, you may need to go to the accredited assessment centers after the online course.

Do you need money for your tuition fee to be able to study this coming school year? The Philippine government might be able to help you. All you need to do is to follow these steps: -Inquire at the state college or university where you want to study. -Bring Identification forms. If your family is a 4Ps subsidiary, prepare and bring your 4Ps identification card. For families who are not a member of 4Ps, bring your family's proof of income. -Bring the registration form from your state college or university where you want to study. Nicholas Tenazas, Deputy executive Director of CHED-UniFAST said that in the program, the state colleges and universities will not collect any tuition fee from the students. The Government will shoulder their tuition fees. CHED-UniFAST or the Unified Student Financial Assistance For Tertiary Education otherwise known as the Republic Act 10687 which aims to provide quality education to the Filipinos. What are the qualifications for availing of the modalities of UniFAST? The applicant for any of the modalities under the UniFAST must meet the following minimum qualifications: (a) must be a Filipino citizen, but the Board may grant exemptions to foreign students based on reciprocal programs that provide similar benefits to Filipino students, such as student exchange programs, international reciprocal Scholarships, and other mutually beneficial programs; (b) must be a high school graduate or its equivalent from duly authorized institutions; (c) must possess good moral character with no criminal record, but this requirement shall be waived for programs which target children in conflict with the law and those who are undergoing or have undergone rehabilitation; (d) must be admitted to the higher education institution (HEI) or TVI included in the Registry of Programs and Institutions of the applicant’s choice, provided that the applicant shall be allowed to begin processing the application within a reasonable time frame set by the Board to give the applicant sufficient time to enroll; (e) in the case of technical-vocational education and training or TVET programs, must have passed the TESDA screening/assessment procedure, trade test, or skills competency evaluation; and (f) in the case of scholarship, the applicant must obtain at least the score required by the Board for the Qualifying Examination System for Scoring Students and must possess such other qualifications as may be prescribed by the Board. The applicant has to declare also if he or she is already a beneficiary of any other student financial assistance, including government StuFAP. However, if at the time of application of the scholarship, grant-in-aid, student loan, or other modalities of StuFAP under this Act, the amount of such other existing grant does not cover the full cost of tertiary education at the HEI or TVI where the applicant has enrolled in, the applicant may still avail of the StuFAPs under this Act for the remaining portion.
