<br/><br/> I. ABSTRACT<br/><br/>The accountancy program is one of the hardest college programs given the rigorous curriculum,<br/>retention policy implemented, and passing the Certified Public Accountants Licensure<br/>Examination. The Philippines demands Certified Public Accountants, as stated by the<br/>Professional Regulatory Board of Accountancy Chairman Noe Quinanola in March 2023. Under<br/>accounting, there is one profession that students could take as one of their options in choosing<br/>their path—Bookkeeping. Having a third degree of National Certification in bookkeeping can<br/>enhance one’s employability and open up opportunities for a successful career according to<br/>TESDA. Thus, this study focused on the assessment of the level of readiness of the students<br/>taking up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy in Olivarez College Tagaytay to take the TESDA<br/>NCIII Bookkeeping Examination and if there is a significance difference in the level of readiness<br/>when grouped based on the year level. Since the main goal of TESDA is to assess the<br/>competencies in terms of mastery in the basic accounting cycle, this study is important to know<br/>the standing of the students and the reason for the low passing rate. A validated mock TESDA<br/>NCIII Bookkeeping exam questionnaire was utilized by the researchers. In analyzing the data,<br/>the statistical analysis used was the two-way ANOVA, and the results indicated that the<br/>respondents are not ready to take the National Certification in Bookkeeping and there is no<br/>significant difference in the level of readiness to take the TESDA NCIII Bookkeeping<br/>Examination when grouped per year level. Therefore, an intensive program should be<br/>implemented for the students to master the basic accounting cycle as their foundation as the<br/>difficulty of other major subject’s progress.<br/>
