I have 4 years of experience in BPO and 6 years of freelancing, supporting real estate and technology companies in the US. My roles have included Success Manager, Project Manager, and Agent Support. Do I have a chance of getting accepted? Benilde is really my first choice, but I’m worried that I might not pass because I’m a freelancer and I’m unable to provide a traditional COE. I can provide my contracts and Certificates of Earnings instead. May I also ask if you have other schools you would recommend for someone with my background? Thank you!

Chosen Program: Bachelor of Elementary Education

August 1, 2025 - I sent my application form.

August 22, 2025 - Received a reply and that my admission was confirmed. I paid the enrollment fee costs 5K.

August 26, 2025 - Officially enrolled. Instructed to send my e-portfolio as requirement for compliance. I was also requested to pay 40,000. (Apparently, not all programs require this. I think sa Educ lang yata. Mas mainam magtanong kayo.)

August 28, 2025 - I was given my institutional login credentials.

September 6, 2025 - I paid the 40,000

September 16, 2025 - I submitted all the requirements needed, including the receipt.

October 2025 - Adviser assigned.

January 2026 - First day of online classes officially started.

February 2026 - Application for graduation.

May 2026 - Comprehensive Exam and Oral Revalida

May 29, 2026 - Graduation Day

Now, in case you were wondering why sa January na kami nag simula. Here are the reasons:

1. Nagkaroon ng magkasunod-sunod na lindol sa Cebu, so from October sana, it was moved to November.

2. Dumaan ang bagyong Tino causing everything to halt for weeks. So from November, na-move naman to December.

3. Since December is holiday season, napag-desisyonan ng aming adviser na mag simula kami sa January na.

4. 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!

Assessment process- need pumunta sa school? or can it be done online? How often do you have to go to the school? what kind of classes do you do if online? or mostly research/essay type of requirements ba ang ipapagawa? I'm interested in continuing my studies, please walk me through this.

im 34y/o , a father of 2 , bale i learned about ETEEAP recently lang , at naisip ko rin sana magtry , i'm from Pangasinan , 14yrs of Experience as Assistant Math Instructor sa isang Learning Services , honestly , hindi kami financially stable ngayon since baby pa yung isang anak ko , and nag-resign narin ako recently dahil nagpupursue ako magabroad sana kaso sadly parang hindi pinapalad until now .

Nag-enroll ako kahapon para sa last set of subjects ko sa PUP ETEEAP - BSBA Major in Marketing Management. Kung walang aberya, graduation na next year. 😊

As usual, sobrang accommodating ng staff at mabilis lang ang enrollment.

So far, nasa around ₱60k na ang tuition ko (₱40k first sem for 8 subjects, then ₱20k this sem for 4 subjects), tapos may around ₱13k pa akong babayaran for subject accreditation. Hindi siya mura, pero para sa flexibility at pangalan ng school, okay na rin para sa akin.

Isa sa mga nagustuhan ko sa program ay modular siya. Walang everyday classes, so ikaw talaga ang magma-manage ng oras mo. Noong first sem, may mga subjects akong natapos within two days dahil tinutukan ko.

Isa pang nagustuhan ko, pinakuha agad sa akin noong first sem yung tatlong major subjects: Business Research, Marketing Research, at Feasibility Study. Ang maganda, iisang thesis lang ang ginawa ko at iyon na rin ang pinasa at naging basis ng grade ko sa tatlong subjects. Hindi ibig sabihin nun na puwede mo nang i-ignore yung dalawa. Kailangan mo pa rin silang basahin dahil malaking tulong sila sa paggawa ng thesis.

Sa experience ko, wala ring oral defense. Pinasa ko lang yung final thesis ko at iyon na ang chineck at ginrade.

Regarding AI, yes, malaking tulong siya sa pag-aaral at pag-organize ng ideas. Pero may Turnitin at AI detection sila, kaya hindi puwedeng ipaubaya lahat sa AI. Gamitin siya as a tool, pero siguraduhin na sarili mo pa rin ang pagkakasulat at naiintindihan mo talaga yung laman ng paper.

So far, wala pa naman akong naging bad experience sa PUP. Para sa mga nagbabalak kumuha ng BSBA Marketing Management o ibang ETEEAP program pero kinakabahan o nag-aalinlangan gaya ko noon, push niyo na. Akala ko rin dati sobrang hirap at baka hindi ko kayanin. Mas manageable pala siya kaysa sa iniisip ko, lalo na kung marunong kang mag-manage ng oras at committed kang tapusin.

Hello, just like my title suggest, I want to know how many people got accepted and graduated in ETEEAP in just 5 years of working experience.

Let's say for eg. 5 years call center agent. How many subjects were credited and how long was the program?

Thanks!

Hi! 👋 I am a freelancer/online service provider on Upwork for 7 years na.

The main requirement for ETEEAP is the COE. However, I cannot get that from my clients because I am an independent contractor.

May nakaexperience po ba dito na Certificate of Work Experience ang pinrovide if walang COE? Or did you have any alternative documents to prove your work?

I have 55 mos of contribution in SSS, ITR (I registered in BIR last 2023) and of course, my Upwork account has all the client information.

Hoping for your responses! Thank you 🥹
