Common problems

• Missing documents. Bring complete photocopies so you are not turned away on the day.
• Arriving late. Arrive before 9:00 AM, as the announcement asks.
• Slots are limited. Passing the screening does not guarantee a slot if the class is full, so go on the earliest day you can.
• Fake pages. Follow only official TESDA RTC-NCR channels. Do not pay anyone who promises a slot.
