Armada Logics Team Earns TESDA TM1 Certification to Train Next-Gen Software Developers
La Union—Armada Logics has taken another major step in its mission to turn Region 1 into a thriving hub for software development talent. Four members of the Instruction Team—Rogimer Urriza, Roby Anne Galo, Lenard Cordial, and Mario Narvaez—completed 33 days of intensive training and evaluation, officially earning their TESDA Trainers Methodology Level 1 (TM1) Certification. The TESDA TM1 certification is TESDA’s gold standard in the technical-vocational field for trainer and assessor accreditation.
On July 5, 2025, Rogimer, Roby, and Lenard earned their TM1 credentials at the Provincial Training Center in Macalva, Agoo. Soon after, on August 16, 2025, Mario followed, completing his TM1 certification at ABC Technical Learning Center. Their achievement marks another milestone in strengthening Armada’s growing force of TESDA-qualified trainers and assessors.
As part of the process, TESDA evaluators assessed them on three key skills:
In addition to this milestone, Rogimer and Roby also hold Programming (Java) NC III certifications. Lenard holds a Web Development NC III certification and is preparing to take his Programming (Java) NC III. Mario—who plays an active role in instruction and learner support—now adds TM1 certification to his credentials. This, along with his Web Development NC III certification, further strengthens the team’s overall teaching capacity.
By earning the TM1 certification, Armada Logics’ instruction team demonstrates its foundation in effective teaching strategies, industry-aligned curriculum development, and updated technical expertise.

Helping more learners transition into job-ready professionals.

The Path to Excellence
Over the course of six weeks, Armada’s Instruction Team dove deep into the core of what makes effective tech education: competency-based teaching strategies, assessment frameworks, and learner-centered curriculum design. Mario’s completion of his own TM1 training further reinforces the team’s strength—showcasing Armada’s commitment to building a deep bench of certified educators.
But what truly sets Armada Logics apart from other software development training centers is our ability to pair educational excellence with real-world industry experience.
