About Cluster Courses

The courses are to be taken thru online using zoom virtual classroom.  You and your instructor will login at the time of the schedule of your cluster course and will continue every Friday until you finish the prescribed 24-hour instructions.

Make sure that you are officially enrolled in your chosen cluster course(s).  Fill-up the Course Registration Form below and then Submit.  Our officers and volunteers will contact you and verify that you have the prerequisites required in the course(s) you wished to enroll in.  So make sure that you entered your correct contact details.

You may enroll for a maximum of 4 cluster courses.  Each cluster course has 2 hours’ duration for 12 meetings, totaling to 24 hours.  Since the courses are held every Friday, one can only attend up to a maximum of 8 hours of the whole Friday.  Make sure that your chosen cluster courses are not in conflict with each other in terms of schedule.

This is a community organization wherein the instructors are Volunteers.  Each has their own day jobs and are only free during Fridays.  Our instructors are sacrificing their weekend to impart their knowledge and expertise to fellow Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) so that you may gain necessary skills from the offered  cluster courses and be productive in your chosen profession, in the community and in our host country.

Each cluster course must have a minimum of 10 students enrolled.  Otherwise, the cluster course will be dissolved.  Don’t worry, we will inform you if the cluster you enrolled in will be dissolved.  You have the option to transfer to another cluster course or get a refund.

We normally allow a maximum of 20 up to 30 students per cluster course, depending on the instructor.  So make sure that you register and enroll soon to ensure your seat.

Our 2021 1st semester will tentatively start on 19-February-2021.  Watch out for the updates on our website (https://comsofil.org/)  or in our FB pages (https://www.facebook.com/computersocietyoffilipinos/   and https://www.facebook.com/groups/comsofilriyadh/).

You will receive a Certificate of Completion signed by the instructor, and attested by the officers of the Organization.  The certificates will be given during the graduation rites held after every semester.
