5 Easy Steps to find TESDA Housekeeping Training Schools Near You

TESDA Housekeeping course is one of the in-demand training programs offered by the said educational institution. Probably, the main reason is that Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and other countries have a growing need for skilled housekeepers.

In this post, I will teach you steps on how to find the list of TESDA accredited schools that offer Housekeeping courses near your location in less than 5 minutes. Aside from that, I will also share how you can get details of the school such as their address, telephone numbers, and course duration.

Filipinos are one of the contenders when comes to housekeeping skills. Do you want to know why?

In my opinion, it is because Filipinos have TESDA that train their students for the sole purpose of becoming an excellent housekeeper. Plus, the fact that at a young age, they are already being thought household chores. Things like how to wash dishes, sweeping the floor, make a bed, cleaning home appliances, basic cooking skills, proper disposing of rubbish, and washing clothes were already ingrained in their mind.

Filipinos can also speak English and adapt their accent so they can talk to their employers as clearly as possible. Sometimes, helpers doubled as a babysitter too. They take care of their employer’s babies and kids treating them as their own. Think about this, the kids will learn basic English language every day of the week courtesy of the Filipino housekeeper whenever both of their parents at work. Kids can also learn ‘Tagalog’ from them.

Filipino housekeepers in general, take their job seriously and show genuine care for their employers and their kids. That kind of character is essential for the job or at least that is what most foreign employers are looking for to the housekeeper applicant.

You do not have to take my word for it. You can read online about what I am talking about. With all the things that I have said, do you still want to become a housekeeper and get a chance to work locally and overseas?

If the answer is a whopping ‘Yes’ then you need to study the Housekeeping course in TESDA. Afterward, you need to take an assessment exam to get your National Certificate (NC I and II) for the course.

What is Housekeeping?

By definition, 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 rooms 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 perform basic cooking, and make a bed.

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

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 duration. The course duration ranges from 465 hours to up to 565 hours depending on the school. That is roughly 3 to 4 months of studying to finish the whole course.

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 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 in the TESDA website.

Step 5: Start with your enrollment

After you have chosen the school that you think is best for your situation, then proceed with your enrollment.
