Steps to be followed for Assessment and Certification:
1. Nurse Candidates (applicants) shall submit the following to the DOH NCP Office of the respective
hospitals:
a) Accomplished and Validated Self-assessment Tool;
b) Accomplished Application Form; and
c) Portfolio or Evidence of Competence
2. Payment of Assessment Fee at the designated hospital who will then assign 2 assessors per nurse candidate.
3. The Nurse candidate undergoes a series of workplace assessments
4. Assessors submit the accomplished checklist and Assessment Report: Once the candidate is assessed as competent, the Hospital DOH NCP Committee prepares a Recommendation Letter endorsing the candidate for certification. Then DOH issues the Certificate of Competence.
5. If a candidate has been assessed as “not yet competent” in certain competency areas, the Hospital DOH, DOH NCP Committee (Sub-Committee on Assessment and Certification) advises the applicant on the availment of appropriate learning interventions.
Steps to be followed for Availment of Learning and Development Interventions
1. Nurse candidates shall proceed to the DOH NCP Office of the designated hospital and present their
accomplished self-assessment tool or Assessment Report (for those with prior assessment).
2. The Hospital DOH NCP Committee then recommends available learning interventions that would address the competency gaps. Corresponding payments for the selected courses or modules are settled by the candidate.
3. Upon completion of the learning intervention, trainees undergo an assessment of the competencies set to be addressed by the particular learning intervention.
4. Once assessed, the Hospital DOH NCP Committee issues a Certificate of Completion which indicates the competencies gained from the particular course or module taken.
