WELCOME NOTE FOR PROSPECTIVE LEARNERS , TRAINING PARTNERS, SPONSORS OF ACTION FOR SKILLS KNOWLEDGE EDUCATION AND WELLNESS CENTER CORP (ASKWELL) CENTER CORP

         Thank you for taking time to open this blogspot. Our notices may have encouraged you and caught your attention to browse the net or directly go to this address.

        We are a NEWLY TESDA Registered Training Center and operated by a Non-stock Non Profit corporation whose members are committed to provide an easy access for you to learn and be TESDA Certified National Certificate holder or NC II.
        
         After working on the documents on the registration of the  center for a  year, TESDA issued  three additional TESDA Certificates of Program Registration last January 8, 2014. We are now authorized by TESDA to offer Agri-Industrial based courses.

        We are now in the final preparation for the acceptance of trainees, organizing in the communities, coordinating with partners and reaching out to prospective sponsors for the training scholarships. Our training is expected to start in May 2014.

        Our system of training is Competency-based and we adapt the multiple-entry and multiple exit in terms of enrollment and completion of a module or cluster of modules. In effect, a trainee decides when to complete the course and how.

        The lecture or discussion portion of the training are posted in the net for trainees' and sponsors' easy reference and we are a text away for your questions and we can discuss at length as per your need for information and knowledge. We draw our knowledge from actual experience, the net and from partners who may have a deeper experience and knowledge of a topic you may wish to know. We can also have telephone conferencing or video conference through the net.

        As you are now viewing this blog, I might as well mention that the courses include a session on Health and Wellness the Natural Way  through Exercise 60 more or less . I wrote this book and have a copyright issued recently by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines. And I offer the techniques and philosophy of the book to our trainees. 

           As I am also a member of the Technical Expert Panel of the team that drafted the TESDA Training Regulation on Organic Agriculture NC II and the Project Director of ACES Natural Farming Institute of ACES Polytechnic College in Panabo City, Davao del Norte, I am also sharing important tips on the philosophy and practice of Organic Agriculture.  I am a Bosconian. 

          It is important to mention that there are two persons who have made this mission come to reality and fulfill a passion to teach and share knowledge and skills. Many thanks to  Dr. Francisco P. de la Pena, Jr. the President / CEO of ACES Polytechnic College and Mr Charlie Taguiam, Proprietor of Proline Industries, who have provided the motivation, knowledge,  financial and training resources that are needed in the build-up of the facilities of Action for Skills Knowledge Education and Wellness Center Corp. 

           It is our mission to help farmers attain holistic development. The four (4) training courses offered by the institution ,namely Animal Production NC II, Horticulture NC II, Aquaculture NC II and Driving NC II are interlinked to form an integrated system of knowledge and skills. We believe that these integrated courses support the effort to fast track the attainment of sustainable agriculture and  development.

            Welcome to ASKEDWELL CENTER ! And be a Certified professional , worker and be a technopreneur.
