 Assessors’ creed 15
I believe that the credibility and prestige of the Philippine TVET Competency
Assessment and Certification System is enhanced or destroyed, depending on
the way competency assessors conduct themselves.
Believing in this, I will administer competency assessments strictly in
accordance with the guidelines set forth in the skills certification program
methodologies.
I will be professional in my dealings with the competency assessment applicants
whether during assessments or outside of assessment conditions.
I shall place a high value on objectivity and integrity and maintain the highest
standards in the services I offer.
 16
Believing in every examinees right to total concentration during the competency
assessment, I will do my best to provide and maintain an environment conducive
to assessment.
I shall administer assessment only in areas where I have competence.
I shall not allow the competency assessment to be an instrument for corruption.
I shall not make the examinee nervous, distracted or irritated during the
assessment.
Last but not the least, I shall zealously safeguard the validity of the competency
assessment instrument. I shall see to it that nobody else has access to assessment
materials except members of the TESDA competency assessment team and
accredited/ authorized persons
