The assessment fees include the assessor's fee of PhP 3,192.00 for
ten (10) candidates or PhP 319.20 per candidate for every assessment
activity in the above qualifications except in Beekeeping NC II. The
assessor's fee of PhP 3,192.00 is applied for five (5) candidates or PhP
638.40 per candidate in Beekeeping NC II. The summary of cost items of the
assessment fees for these qualifications is attached (Annex A, B, and C).
It will be noted that the assessment fees for COC 2 ("Elderly") of
Caregiving (Clients with Special Needs) NC II and COC 3 ("Toddler") of
Caregiving (Newborn to Preschooler) NC II are slightly higher compared to
the assessment fees of its respective full qualifications. The expensive
supplies/tools/equipment/materials needed in the conduct of assessment
exclusively for "Elderly" and "Toodler" for COC, contributed to the higher rate
as compared to the full assessment. The assessment activities for full
assessment (NC) combined the different age groups which somehow evened
out the high and low prices of supplies/tools/equipment/materials.
All the Regional/Provincial/District Offices (ROPO/DO) shall ensure
that the accredited Assessment Centers shall NOT charge any additional
fees in the conduct of the assessment.
This Circular takes effect as indicated and shall supersede any issuances
inconsistent herewith.
