TL;DR: TESDA runs a Regional Office in each of the country's administrative regions plus a Provincial (or District, in NCR) Office in nearly every province, each verified here directly against TESDA's official directory page. Provincial Offices are the more useful first stop for scholarship applications and local TVI concerns; Regional Offices coordinate policy and forward scholarship recommendations. Cebu, Davao, and Iloilo each have both a regional-level office and their own dedicated provincial/district office, listed below with current addresses and phone numbers.
If you're trying to apply for a TESDA scholarship, check on a training provider, or just find out where your province's TESDA office actually is, the agency's own directory page is the authoritative source, but it's a long, unstructured list. This guide reorganizes it by region so you can find your area faster, with Cebu, Davao, and Iloilo called out specifically since they're the offices people search for most. Every address and number below comes directly from TESDA's official directory as fetched for this guide; office locations and phone numbers do occasionally change, so treat this as a starting point and confirm anything critical directly with the office before a trip. For what to actually bring once you find your office, see our TESDA requirements guide; for verifying a training center before you pay, see our TESDA-accredited training centers guide.
What Do TESDA Regional and Provincial Offices Actually Handle?
Provincial and Regional Offices are administrative and coordination points, not the place where assessment itself happens. Per TESDA's own scholarship implementation guidance, Provincial Offices evaluate scholarship application forms and forward them to the Regional Office, which recommends them to TESDA's central Scholarships Management Office and releases scholarship grant certificates once approved. Regional and Provincial Directors are also responsible for making sure accredited assessment centers and assessors are available within their area for the qualifications offered under scholarship programs (TWSP, STEP, PESFA).
Separately, these offices oversee UTPRAS — the mandatory registration system for Technical Vocational Institutions — which is how TESDA verifies a training center meets minimum requirements before it can legally offer a program. Actual competency assessment, on the other hand, happens at TESDA-accredited assessment centers, which our TESDA assessment centers guide covers in detail.
Disclaimer: office addresses, phone numbers, and assigned directors change periodically. The details below reflect TESDA's official directory at the time of research; confirm anything time-sensitive directly with the office or at tesda.gov.ph/directory/regions before relying on it.
TESDA Offices in the National Capital Region (NCR)
NCR has no separate "provincial" layer; instead, it's split into a Regional Office and six District Offices.

Iloilo and Cebu each carry the extra weight of being their region's headquarters city, so the regional office and the provincial office are both physically present, at different addresses — worth knowing so you go to the right one for a local (provincial) matter versus a regional policy question.
TESDA Offices in Mindanao — Including Davao

Davao City's District Office shares its regional office's building, so anyone in Davao City itself can go straight there for both regional and city-level matters; the surrounding Davao provinces each run their own separate Provincial Office.
How to Confirm an Office Is Still Current Before You Travel
Government office contact details shift more often than websites get updated. Before making a trip based on any address or number in this guide (or anywhere else online):
- Call ahead using the number listed to confirm the office is still at that address and open to walk-ins for your specific concern.
- Check TESDA's own directory page at tesda.gov.ph/directory/regions for the most current listing, since this is the source TESDA itself maintains.
- Ask your target TVI or assessment center directly, since for many day-to-day concerns (enrollment, scholarship slots, assessment scheduling) the training provider or assessment center is actually the faster point of contact than the government office itself.
- For scholarship-specific questions, start at the Provincial Office for your own province rather than the Regional Office, since that's the office that actually receives and evaluates applications first.
