A facilitator is required to be in the “active roster” of the division DepEd procured and delivered facilitators for the calendar year to be able to register test taker/s. The Division ALS Admin account is responsible for maintaining the facilitator’s list on a yearly basis.

Note: For Facilitators experiencing problem using their accounts, kindly contact your designated ALS Division Admin for assistance (see Figure 2-2 Panel Display for Inactive Facilitator).
