What is the minimum requirement for me to be enrolled? Age? Educational background?
To qualify for a SPaCE program, a prospective participant must be at least 18 years old and must have completed secondary education (High School) or its equivalent. If the participant is still in high school, a certificate/diploma will be put on hold until they can provide their diploma.
Will I get certificate at the end of the course/module? Do I get a Diploma as well?
We will issue a Certificate of Completion to the participants for each module/course they finish.
Participants will receive a Diploma and undergo graduation rites if they successfully complete all modules within a Diploma Program.
Does each module have to be sequential?
No, you may take the modules in any order, as they are designed to be hop-on-hop-off. This means that if you can't take a particular module in the program right away, you can pick it up later in the year after completing the rest of the modules.
How are the classes held? What modality are you using?
Right now, our default modality is online. Learning sessions are a combination of synchronous discussions via Zoom and asynchronous activities via BigSky, Benilde's Learning Management System (LMS).
Can I pay in installments?
For installment payments, participants must pay 50% of the module fee by the first session, and then settle the remaining fees by the second session.
**Benilde reserves the right to change fees and schedules without prior notice.
How can I request my credentials?
To request your SPaCE credentials, please email our Records Management Coordinators:
Jhune Tavera (rodolfo.tavera@benilde.edu.ph)
Amy Aniban (amy.aniban@benilde.edu.ph)
Kindly note that we only release hard copies of certificates and diplomas.

Hands-on instruction from competent facilitators

I noticed that most of your classes are only 4 days long. Is that enough time to learn anything useful?
Our programs are designed for professionals who are looking for fast, compact but comprehensive learning. 4 Saturdays is but for one module alone, each module is progressive, meaning it advances as it progress to succeeding modules. One diploma usually has 4-5 modules, which is equivalent to 4-5 months. As a professional, these small months are enough for them to learn something in a short amount of time during the usual 6 months probationary period.
What is the medium of instruction?
Lessons are generally taught in English though at times we have participants from other countries.
Books, videos, online classes and the like are cheaper. Why should I invest in instructor-led training?
Books, videos, online classes only offers one-way communication. SPaCE's instructor-led courses gives you immediate and practical real scenarios from industry practitioners of the field.
Do you offer on-site training?
Yes. However, training would be more effective when held away from the distractions of the workplace. When you attend classes in our school, you and your colleagues can focus on your training in a complete, distraction-free environment.
Do you have a maximum residency policy?
None. Being a hop-on-hop-off modular type program, this allows you to customize training and tailor your development in accordance to your availability and resources.
