Interested in learning how to set up, troubleshoot, and maintain computers? A free training opportunity could help you turn that interest into practical skills without paying for the course.
The Tarlac Center for Learning and Skills Success (TCLASS), in partnership with TESDA, has announced 20 scholarship slots for Computer Systems Servicing NC II under the Tulong Trabaho Scholarship Program (TTSP). The training lasts 35 days and includes free assessment and certification, plus a daily allowance for qualified scholars.
About Computer Systems Servicing NC II
Computer Systems Servicing, commonly called CSS, focuses on the technical work needed to keep computers and networks running. TESDA’s training regulations cover installing and configuring computer systems, setting up networks and servers, and maintaining and repairing computer systems and networks.
For someone interested in computer servicing, this course offers a foundation for learning how to identify problems and work through technical tasks. Earning the National Certificate II requires demonstrating the required competencies during assessment; attending the training alone does not automatically qualify a trainee for certification.

- Free full qualification training in Computer Systems Servicing NC II
