Sharing the timeline of my ETEEAP Journey at CIT-U

Now, in case you were wondering why sa January na kami nag simula. Here are the reasons:
Nagkaroon ng magkasunod-sunod na lindol sa Cebu, so from October sana, it was moved to November.
Dumaan ang bagyong Tino causing everything to halt for weeks. So from November, na-move naman to December.
Since December is holiday season, napag-desisyonan ng aming adviser na mag simula kami sa January na.
Yung delay ang reason kung bakit medyo marami kami sa batch. (Mas maraming students, mas mainam para ma-lessen ang tuition na babayaran)
Magkano ang aking tuition?
Total cost: around 50K
Hindi pare-parehas ang tuition ng bawat isa. May ilan 40K, may ilan 60K - 70K
Here's my background:
Previous program ko po ay Bachelor of Secondary Education - English Major. (Hindi nakapag-graduate pero nakapag-aral ako ng college from 2015-2020, irregular student. I am literally one semester left to graduate. Reason bakit hindi nakapag graduate? Last batch ng old curriculum, pinalitan na po ng new curriculum to accommodate the product of K-12. So yung remaining subjects na kukunin ko ay hindi na ino-offer sa dati kong institution.)
Current job: ESL tutor for 7 years.
Here's what you need to remember: Bumabase sila sa unit na na-take mo sa dati mong college. The more na mas relevant yung dati mong program sa chosen program na kukunin mo sa ETEEAP, mas malaki ang chance na less ang mababayaran mo.
And just because you paid the tuition, doesn't mean na makakagraduate ka. Need mong makapasa sa compre exam at oral revalida talaga.
Hindi madali ang ETEEAP. Hindi talaga siya instant. Pero worth it ang pagod at hirap.
Hindi lang tuition ang babayaran mo, pati na rin graduation fee worth 3.5K at graduation pictorial worth 3K.
Pamasahe, pagkain. So kailangan ready ka financially.
I also sacrificed my gala. Since I work Monday to Friday. Then, online classes Saturday and Sunday, 8 AM - 5 PM. Depende po iyan sa subjects na kukuhanin.
Sa mga aspiring ETEEAP students, good luck po sa inyo!
