Frequently Asked Questions:

How Do I Earn a Degree via ETEEAP?

ETEEAP beneficiaries are assessed based on all their work experiences and previous learning. It evaluates your skills, knowledge, values, and attitudes that you gained through your work experiences. The panel of evaluators then aligns these to relevant college credits and, if qualified, presents you with your relevant college degree.

What Degrees Can I Earn through ETEEAP?

Is ETEEAP Legitimate? Is it recognized as a college degree?

Yes. Under the Executive Order Number 330 signed by former President Fidel V. Ramos on May 10, 1996, ETEEAP is recognized as though you have taken, and finished, the course itself.

Can I Choose the Degree I Receive?

Unfortunately, no. The ETEEAP assesses you based on your job history, skills, and experiences. Based on these it aligns you to the most relevant degree associated with these categories.
