I. Introduction
This study is about the Total Quality Management of two companies that has
acquired accreditations. We were required to conduct an interview and research of
the two companies regarding their business operations, how they manage their total
quality and how the accreditations influence the output of their ventures.
Through this study that we conducted, we students will be aware of the
accreditations that a business may acquire if ever we decide to put up our own
business on our business after we graduate. The experience we had has improved
us not only in a knowledgeable way but also in the aspects of personality
development. We were able to adjust to each other’s personality as we strived to
work together as a group. We wanted that the output of this study will be worth all
sacrifices each one of us made.
The companies that we decided to include in this study are Bellarmine
Magister Enrichment Corporation (BELLMEC) and Grand Achievers Training
Institute (GATI). We gave them a set of questions in relation to their company and
the accreditations that they acquired. We also asked them about the history of their
company and a brief background of their daily operations.
May this study be a tool for the future generations to not only settle for simply
having a business of their own but to also strive to make it better through time and
reach a standard that provides that highest quality for their customers.

the key motivator why GATI was created.

Some of the equipments needed are not available. But still they manage to

IV. Comparison
The Bellarmine Magister Enrichment Corporation and the Grand Achievers
Training Institute are two companies that conduct certification exams and
trainings for students and non-students that would like to acquire a skill that will
be sufficient for their prospective job. And the given certificate will give them an
edge compared to the other applicants who had not taken the trainings and
certification exam because the certificate will not be easily acquired for there are
certain standards that the applicant should comply.
The two training centers are located near to each other but the Bellarmine
Magister Enrichment Corporation (Bellmec), in terms of its physical appearance
and equipments is better looking and more advanced than the Grand Achievers
Training Institute and Bellmec is more well-known than GALI. In terms of their
manner in accommodating the applicants, GALI is more attentive and quick to
respond to the applicants’ needs.
Both training centers has almost identical criteria because their business run
the same line of the standards of TESDA.

V. Conclusion and Recommendation
With this study that we conducted as a group, we conclude that, having an
accreditation is important in a business establishment. It’s not only something to
brag about or to look down on other establishments that have not acquired the
accreditations but to give the best service you can give to your customers.
These accreditations make the people trust you and your company so it’s only
rightful to give them the service they deserve.
