How to Apply
To find out how to apply, follow these steps:
Step 1: Inquire
It is crucial to initially find out about the division’s application procedure. Keep in mind that each division has different procedures for choosing qualified applicants, so when you visit the prospective school, find out about the application period from the director of the school or the person in charge of gathering documentation.
Step 2: Submit an Online Application
To encrypt your information in their database, DepEd would like you to complete an online application. Use a valid email address that is up to date while registering online.
You can accomplish this by going to this website: http://application.deped.gov.ph.
Once you start the online application, you must have your passport, SSS ID, TIN (tax identification number), Unified Multi-purpose ID (UMID), Postal ID, or PhilHealth ID ready for use.
For the next 48 hours, keep an eye on your email for the verification message.
Update your online Persona Data Sheet.
Your application number will show up once your email address has been verified and the Personal Data Sheet has been completed.
When submitting your application, you will need to put your applicant number on a blank piece of typewriting paper, so make sure you get it.
On a piece of typing paper, write or print your application number, then include it with your application documents.
Step 3: Submit the Application Folder
Submit your application to the division or the school where you would like to teach, along with the necessary documents in a white folder. You will be asked to verify these documents again, so bring your originals or any supporting documentation.
Step 4: Wait for the Announcement
Await receiving a notice regarding the interview, demonstration teaching, and English proficiency test scheduling via phone or text message.
Step 5: Prepare for the Interview
Make sure you show up on the scheduled interview day. No one is prioritized by the DepEd. You must adhere closely to the dates they have set.
The interview will proceed quickly. Keep in mind that there are multiple applications, so your best bet is to stand out respectably.
Await the announcement regarding the demonstration teaching after the interview.
Step 6: Prepare for the Demonstration Teaching
Different divisions use different methods for demonstration teaching. It is still best to prepare even though your demo teaching may not go long if there are a lot of applications.
Step 7: Prepare for the English Proficiency Test
This test will be administered simultaneously to all applicants in the division. Keep in mind that reading comprehension makes up the majority of the exam’s content.
Step 8: Wait for the Result
The result of the Registry of Qualified Applicants (RQA) list could take up to three months. The result will be shared on social media via the division office bulletin board. It might be emailed to your email as well, or it might be posted on the school’s information board where you turned in your application.
Being on the RQA list does not ensure that you will be recruited right away and able to begin teaching at the school of your choice.
