- 1. COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING TVL - ICT Senior High School CSS Track
- 2. Are you one of the clueless incoming senior high school students? Well, in choosing the right strand, you must pick the right career that fits your persona. Certain factors affect how you choose a senior high school track for your k-12 education. Your interests, hobbies, and skills define the career path you must take whether it’s senior high school CSS or not.
- 4. COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING? This track is designed to develop and enhance the knowledge, skills and attitudes of a ICT student / computer system servicing technician, in accordance with industry standards. It covers the basic and common competencies in addition to the core competencies such as to install and configure computer systems, set – up computer networks and servers and to maintain and repair computer systems and networks.
- 5. CSS NCII? Computer Systems Servicing (CSS NCII) is the upgraded version of what is then called Computer Hardware Servicing (CHS NCII) qualification. During the late CHS, the qualification was said to be of the NCII level, meaning that in a ranking basis, it is the baseline level. Some competencies have the NCII, NCIII and NCIV levels. CSS was given an NCII level because, well, for a fact, it was not that difficult to pass, but still, many students and/or even professionals fail.
- 6. The old CHS competency covered just two (2) modules and you are only expected to perform a couple of tasks to pass the actual examination. The examination includes a question and answer portion before proceeding with the actual hands-on configurations and the same goes for the CSS NCII exam. To cope up with the hastened trend of technology advancement, CSS was introduced, and instead of having just two (2) modules, this new competency has four (4).This seems to be a great move to ensure that we are not left behind on what is the new global standard in technology. What are the differences between CHS NCII and CSS NCII?

- 9. HOW DIFFICULT ISTHIS PROGRAM? Computer System Servicing NC II is not a difficult program. Unlike four year degree programs where there are a lot of subjects which are theory based, this program is focused on developing the practical skills of students thus a minimal portion of theories are taught. The challenging part of the program is studying the core competencies because the topics involved are the technical parts of Computer Hardware Servicing and Computer System Servicing.
- 10. For students who have minimal or no background with computers and computer systems, this program may be a little difficult. An interest and understanding of computers is helpful but repeated practice and studying will really help a trainee learn the ins and outs of Computer System Servicing.
- 11. IS COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING A PROFESSION? Computer system servicing jobs are considered professions, because they require a specialized set of skills and is some cases they require a TESDA certificate. A specialization in Computer System Servicing, combined with a certificate and/or professional experience, makes one a professional in this field.
