Housekeeping Training in TESDA: Tuition Fee, Duration, Requirements, and Schools

TESDA Housekeeping Course is one of the in-demand training programs conducted by the said educational institution. The main reason is that Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and other countries have an increasing demand for skilled housekeepers.

Housekeeping refers to performing household chores such as room preparation, performing routine maintenance, cleaning common areas, and doing laundry in either commercial establishments or private households. There are two types of housekeeping, one is commercial housekeeping, and the other is domestic housekeeping.

Commercial Housekeeping deals with household chores of commercial establishments and accommodations including but not limited to resorts, restaurants, and hotels. The jobs include providing housekeeping services, guest room preparation, room attendant, butler, laundry of guest clothes and linen, valet services, and cleaning of public areas.

Domestic Housekeeping, on the other hand, works in a private household. It can be stay-in or stay-out. The jobs include cleaning the house such as sweeping the floor, cleaning kitchen equipment, laundry, possibly performing basic cooking, and making a bed.

5 Quick Steps to find the TESDA Schools that offer Housekeeping Training

Step 1: Go to www.tesda.gov.ph

At the right portion of the website, you will find the Quick Links. Go to the “Registered Programs.”

Step 2: Key in housekeeping in the course you want to study in TESDA and your location

In this case, key in ‘Housekeeping’ in the course bar and your location in the location bar.

In this example, I want to know the list of TESDA accredited schools that offer Housekeeping in Davao, so I type in ‘Davao’ and I hit ‘SEARCH’.

Step 3: Get the details of Accredited Schools for Housekeeping Course

After you hit search, the list of housekeeping schools will show up including their address. Based on your location choose which among the list of schools is near you. Get their details such as school address, telephone numbers, course duration usually in a number of hours.

For sure there are plenty of schools that offer the course, but you need to consider the school location if it is just 30 minutes, or 2 hours travel time from your house. Also, take into consideration the class duration per day.

Note: You can do the first 3 steps in less than 5 minutes. Step 4 is different.

Step 4: Inquire directly to the school about other concerns

At this step, you need to exert an effort to talk to the school personnel either by phone, email, or school visit. You need to ask how much is the tuition fee for housekeeping, course outline, and also ask about the required documents.

The usual requirement is that you need to be a high school graduate before you can take the course, but there are schools that request additional documents so ask them about it.

The reason you need to ask all of these is because it is not indicated on the TESDA website.
