Here is the only TLE reviewer available in National bookstore today: The author is Romeo S. Ebonite. The price is only P320.

I took up 21 units of Prof.Ed. last semester and I am an IT graduate. I thought I would only take an exam for computer specialization but according to what I have heard, those teachers who will be teaching Hardware Servicing in Junior and Senior HS (Grade 11 & 12) of this new K-12 curriculum by 2016-2018 will be the TESDA graduates who took up the COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING NC II. Therefore, there wont be questions in LET about computers. As you can see on the TOS, computer is not included there.

So what probably will happen is, for us (IT graduates) to have a license, we need to pass the LET even if we do not have an idea about what we are going to take since we did not take this in college:

Basic Drafting 10%
Business Math 6%
Basic Electricity 13%
Basic Plumbing 12%
Cosmetology 8%
Foods 13%
Carpentry and Masonry 20%
Basic Electronics 12%

So maybe, when that time comes, we could only take another course in TESDA for us to be able to teach the Computer Hardware Servicing subject in high school four years from now. By the way TLE teachers (non-computer graduates) will handle the Exploratory Course for Computer Hardware Servicing in Grades 7 & 8. These are simple/basic lessons about tool handling and maintenance. But for specialization which will start in Grade 9, an NC 1 or 2 graduate of COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING will handle it.

Good thing is that DepEd will hire 61,000 new teachers in 2013. Dapat makasabay na tayo dito so we really need to pass the LET this year or next. Sayang ang pagkakataon kasi by 2014, baka di na maghire ng ganito kadami.

PRC needs to polish their system. Ilalagay nila ang Computer Science ot IT graduate sa TLE major, hindi din naman pala nila magagamit ang kanilang pinag-aralan sa kolehiyo. Malabo po kayo, sa totoo lang. Kailangan niyo pong ayusin ito bago pa lumala ang sitwasyon.

Sana nga ngayon pa lang ay i-seperate na ang computer graduates sa BSED-TLE major graduates na kumuha nito ng apat na taon sa kolehiyo. Ang mga graduates na second courser lang ng College Method of Teaching na kumuha lamang ng 18-21 units ng Prof.Ed. ay dapat ibilang sa mga kumukuha ng Hardware Servicing sa TESDA dahil ito talaga ang "aming" linya. Sa toto lang hindi nga eh, dahil ang IT at Comp.Sci. graduates ay more on Software not in Hardware. Pero kahit papano ay nasa linya pa rin naman, although mas dapat dito ay mga Computer Engineering graduates.

Good luck sa mga aspiring TLE teachers!
