  1. I’m actually interested in the 3 training: Virtual Assistance, Graphic Design using Online Tools and Content writing, it may seem many and different but having the knowledge in these 3 aspects. Will make an edge and high probability of landing/pursuing an online job. Hope there is a schedule in Lucena City.

  2. Dear DICT:

    I have seen your schedules but sadly to say nothing from Dumaguete. Do you have any other program intended for EX-OFW.

    Thanks
