the individual identify the knowledge, expertise, skills,
attitudes and values (competence) he/she has acquired
from his/her experiences.

2. determine, evaluate and certify the equivalency of courses
taken by the individual desiring accreditation. If the course
taken has the same course description and the credit unit
is the same or more than what is specified in the
curriculum, the course is given full accreditation. On the
other hand, if the credit unit is less than what is offered at
CvSU, the individual shall be required to undergo an
accreditation assessment.

3. administer skills tests to individuals desiring accreditation
for skills they have acquired, either through non-formal or
informal means. The Assessment Team may invite a
representative from the industry, whenever necessary. In
this connection, the list of required minimum practical,
technical and scientific skills required of the different
academic programs, to be prepared by the different
departments will be a major reference in the performance
of this function.

4. develop in-house non-school based competency standards
for the program, based on the curricula.. The Academic
Assessment Team may also conduct oral examination and
any other means of determining knowledge, whenever
necessary. It shall also be the duty of the Academic
Assessment Team to invite professionals to assist in the
evaluation of credentials and the preparation of
examination for those desiring accreditation.
