WVSU Distance Education

Call for Applications!

The Commission, in partnership with West Visayas State University, is pleased to announce the call for applications for the “Diploma in Teaching” program.

This 24-unit program is specially designed for graduates of non-education degrees who aspire to become qualified educators in basic or higher education. Through a flexible blended learning approach, participants will engage in self-paced modules, live virtual sessions, practice-based assignments, and portfolio development. It will then culminate in a one-semester teaching internship, where participants will apply their competencies in authentic classroom settings under the guidance of critique teachers, supervisors, and experienced mentors.

Interested applicants must be nominated by their Sending Higher Education Institutions (SHEIs) and must submit all required documents on or before 13 March 2026.
