If you want TESDA-ready modules or pathways for formal national certification, here’s how it aligns:
TESDA Jewelry Making Courses
TESDA offers national certificate courses in jewelry making that you could use as the formal competency base for broader certification:
Jewelry Making (Fine Jewelry) NC II / NC III
- Recognized by TESDA as formal skills training modules. (Tesda)
- Core competencies include fine jewelry fabrication, polishing, plating, and mold making. (Tesda)
- Key Units (NC II)
- Fabricate basic jewelry components
- Polish jewelry
- Plate jewelry
- Perform rubber mold making
- …plus foundational competencies in workplace communication, safety, and quality standards. Tesda
These don’t specifically cover agarwood materials, but you could integrate agarwood-specific content into a TESDA-aligned curriculum or use the TESDA NC II craft competencies as a base for competency assessment.
How to Combine Both
If your goal is a professional credential that is TESDA-recognized yet unique to agarwood craft:
- Build the agarwood beads workshop curriculum (as above).
- Map the craft units to TESDA Jewelry Making units (e.g., safety, design fundamentals, component fabrication).
- Partner with a TESDA-accredited training center to deliver the course and offer NC II or NC III assessment for those units.
This way, graduates get artisan-specific training and government-recognized certification.
