The TESDA Online Program (TOP) has been around since 2012 to provide education to those who want to acquire new skills even at home. Their free online courses make education more accessible to Filipinos as it also has no age limit. The students just have to be at least computer literate.

This program was originally created for students, out-of-school youth, unemployed adults, local and overseas workers, and professionals who would like to take TESDA courses at their own pace. Although in the midst of a global pandemic, using the extra time to learn a new skill may come in handy in the future. Courses relevant to COVID-19 management are also among the choices.
