This refers to the process by which TVET (technical-vocational education and training)
programs are registered with TESDA. It is the first stage of the Unified TVET Program
Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS).

Applying for program registration indicates the intent of the institution to offer TVET programs.

The registration process attests to the capacity of the Technical-Vocational Institution (TVI) to

of such. Registration begins with the program registration documentation submitted to TESDA
