    • lani says:

      hi, according to my hubby, registration starts @ 8 a.m. for morning & whole day session. For afternoon session, registration starts @ 12 p.m. You better be there early since seats are limited per training module.

  11. lani says:

    My husband attended the seminar on cellphone repair last month. Everything he learned are all helpful. He is planning to start cellphone repair once he completed his tools. Tomorrow & on Saturday, he will attend again. I have planned attending the whole day seminar on fashion designing on Saturday however, my officemate will be on-leave on Saturday so I can’t make it to attend. Perhaps next time I can make it. Thanks for your ads about this free seminar.

  15. reyne austria says:

    Thank you for this info “Free Livelihood Seminars by DTI-CLEEP”, but how could i registered if i’m interested with one of the SKILLS TRAINING and is there any age bracket to qualify for training?

    • Leo says:

      @reyne austria, it’s free for all regardless of age. for registration, you have to go to the venue early because it’s a first-come-first-serve basis due to its limited seating capacity. call PTTC first for confirmation.

    • Michelle Gonzales says:

      i ATTENDED THE SEMINAR LAST MONTH & IT WAS WORTH ATTENDING TO. BESIDES IT’S A FREE SEMINAR SO THEY ONLY SHARE THE BASIC SKILLS BUT i’VE LEARN A LOT FROM IT. I WILL AGAIN ATTEND THE SEMINAR ON SAT.
