Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency And Accreditation Program

EXPANDED TERTIARY EDUCATION EQUIVALENCY AND ACCREDITATION PROGRAM

The Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP)is an alternative education delivery mode promulgated through Executive Order 330, which promotes access to continuing quality higher education.

This is realized through the establishment of equivalency competence standards and a comprehensive assessment system through written tests, interview skills demonstration and other creative assessment and methodologies.
