Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation
Program (ETEEAP)
Director: Mr. Ruben Carpizo, PhD Candidate
The Adventist University of the Philippines is one of the institutions of higher learning authorized by
the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to accredit individuals’ actual achievements towards the
conferment of an earned degree under the Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation
Program (ETEEAP).
What is ETEEAP?
The Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation program (ETEEAP) is an
educational assessment scheme which recognizes knowledge, skills and prior learning obtained by
individuals from non-formal and informal education experiences.
By establishing equivalency competence standards and a comprehensive assessment system employing
written test, interview, skills demonstration and other creative assessment methodologies, higher education
institutions may administer competency – based evaluation.
A Panel of Assessors is convened to determine candidates’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to
a particular discipline, and consequently equivalent credits and appropriate certificates and degrees are
awarded by administering higher education institutions.
