Hi, I would like to obtain information on whether TESDA has authorized private training centers or employment agencies to use the TESDA logo. If so, under what conditions and restrictions can the logo be used? If not, how can a member of the public file a complaint for suspected mis-use of the TESDA logo?
For example, many private training centers offer "NC II Enhancement" training programs and use the logo and likeness of TESDA to make the trainings look official and mandatory. Upon completion of these programs an official looking certificate is granted using the logo of TESDA.
