Predictors of Certification Reluctance among TESDA NC II Completers in Cagayan de Oro City

Author(s) Mr. Cris George Pagote Ehong, Prof. Dr. Sarah Obsequio Namoco

Abstract National certification assessment is a critical component of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority’s (TESDA) training-to-employment pipeline in the Philippines. Despite completing National Certificate Level II (NC II) programs, a substantial proportion of completers do not proceed to certification assessment. This study examined the predictors of certification reluctance among TESDA NC II completers in Cagayan de Oro City, focusing on assessment self-efficacy, perceived preparedness, financial constraints, and perceived extrinsic value. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. The data were collected from 110 unassessed NC II completers using survey instruments and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Statistical assumptions have been satisfied before doing the multiple linear regression to guarantee that the analysis results are valid, reliable, and interpretable. The study’s multiple regression analysis revealed that among the four predictors, perceived preparedness is the main cause of certification reluctance among TESDA NC II completers. The suggestion includes rigorous implementation of institutional assessment, feedbacking and coaching, and expanding the scope of this study for future research.
