Visual Graphics Designing NCIII

Since I am handling Visual Graphics Designing Courses in Grade 10, I was encouraged by my Head Teacher to take the Visual Graphics Designing NCIII Assessment. The Tech-Voc courses embedded in the K to 12 curriculum for Junior and Senior High are following the TESDA’s Training Regulations (TR) and based on TESDA’s guidelines, for a teacher to qualify in teaching any Tech-Voc courses, one must be an NC passer himself and to become an assessor of Tech-Voc students, the teacher must take the Training Methodology (TM) course.

So, last July 20, 2015, equipped with my teaching experiences and armed with lots of courage, I took the VGD NCIII assessment at Interface, Caloocan City. Though I never attended any training about this course, I still took the risk. I was confident because I’ve been doing Visual Graphic Designing with different applications for quite some years already. Somehow, I believed that my reservoir of skills and knowledge wouldn’t fail. And Thanks be to God, because I did it! I passed this VGD NCIII Assessment. My next goal is to take the Training Methodology Course.
