Build a caregiving career with a training center you can trust.

The complete journey consists of 6 structured steps:
1. **Submit Admission Application:** Fill out the online admission form at `/applications` using your active Gmail address.
2. **Review & Approval:** MCARE admissions staff review your application and issue an official application number.
3. **Complete TESDA Enrollment:** Once approved, enter your application number at `/enrollment` to complete your learner profile, choose your training batch, and upload required documents.
4. **Pay Enrollment Fee:** Pay the downpayment (₱2,000.00) online via PayMongo (GCash, Debit/Credit Card, QRPh) or pay in cash on-site at the MCARE cashier.
5. **Payment & Requirement Review:** MCARE validates your payment and reviews your submitted documents.
6. **Trainee Account Activated:** Once approved, your account becomes an active Trainee account with immediate access to learning modules, quizzes, and class schedules.

Applicants must prepare digital copies of the following documentary requirements:
- **PSA Birth Certificate:** Proof of Filipino citizenship and birth details.
- **Educational Credential:** High School Diploma, Form 137 / 138, or College Transcript of Records (TOR).
- **Certificate of Good Moral Character:** Issued by your school or local barangay.
- **ID Photos:** Recent 1x1 and 2x2 ID photos with a white background and collared attire.
- **Digital E-Signature:** Provided directly within the enrollment signature pad.

All documents are securely archived and reviewed by MCARE registrar staff.

You can check your status at any time by visiting the **Check Status** page at `/applications/status`.
Enter your issued application reference number (or your registered Gmail address). The portal will display your current review decision (Approved, Denied, or Under Review) along with any administrator notes or guidance for next steps.

Yes! Trainees, applicants, and alumni can sign in securely using Google OAuth, provided your Google email address matches the registered email on your MCARE enrollment record. Note: Administrative staff and trainers must log in using their email address and secure password.

MCARE offers two official payment pathways:
1. **Online via PayMongo:** Supports GCash, Visa/Mastercard credit or debit cards, and Maya/QRPh with instant automated payment confirmation.
2. **Pay On-Site (Cash):** Select 'Pay on-site' during checkout to generate an official on-site payment ticket. Present this ticket at the Mission Care cashier in San Isidro Poblacion, Pili, Camarines Sur.

The standard downpayment is ₱2,000.00 to reserve your training seat, with the remaining program fee payable across scheduled training intervals.

Visit the **Payments** page at `/payments` and enter your official enrollment number (format: `MCE-2026-XXXXXX`).
- If your payment is already confirmed, the page will display your payment clearance and official receipt status.
- If your payment is pending or unpaid, you will be able to select between online PayMongo checkout or print your on-site payment ticket.

When you choose 'Pay on site', an official payment ticket is generated with a reference code and expiry window. When you pay at the MCARE cashier, the administration records the payment receipt in the payment schedule system, which immediately clears your enrollment for registrar document inspection.

Once your enrollment is approved by the registrar, your user account automatically transitions to the **Trainee Portal** (`/trainee/stream`).
Here you can:
- Access the batch classwork and training modules.
- View protected learning PDF handouts embedded with security watermarks.
- Take interactive quizzes and track scores.
- Monitor daily attendance records and training competency evaluations.

MCARE accommodates various learner schedules depending on batch availability:
- **Morning (AM) Batches:** Typically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.
- **Afternoon (PM) Batches:** Typically Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons.
- **Weekend / Special Batches:** Scheduled based on institutional announcements.
You can select your preferred schedule during the enrollment step.

Upon successfully completing the required 786 training hours and passing all institutional competency assessments, the administration issues your official **Certificate of Training Completion (COTC)** and **Transcript of Records (TOR)**.
These documents are generated as tamper-evident digital PDFs signed by authorized MCARE registrars and trainers.

Graduated trainees automatically unlock access to the **Alumni Career Hub** (`/trainee/career-hub`).
MCARE posts verified caregiving opportunities for local and overseas deployment. Graduates can declare their availability for duty, submit inquiries directly to employers, and opt into SMS job alerts powered by Semaphore to receive notifications when matching vacancies open.
