Assessment is the process of evaluating the competencies of an individual in a particular occupation or skill area. TESDA conducts assessments through its network of accredited assessment centers, which are located in various parts of the country. The assessment process typically involves a combination of written tests, practical demonstrations, and interviews.
Certification is the process of granting a formal recognition to an individual who has demonstrated competency in a particular occupation or skill area. TESDA issues a National Certificate (NC) or a Certificate of Competency (COC) to individuals who have successfully completed the assessment process. These certificates serve as proof of an individual's competency and are recognized by employers both in the Philippines and abroad.

Theassessment fees vary depending on the level of certification being applied for and the assessment center chosen.
