Phase 4: POLO Assistance and Guidance
Clearing the Final Hurdle—Legally and Seamlessly
Before any Filipino educator can depart for a teaching role abroad, they must secure an Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC)—a crucial requirement from the Philippine Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). At The Pedagogy Institute, we understand the legal and logistical complexity of this step, and we’re here to make it smooth and stress-free.
What is the OEC?
The OEC is the official exit clearance that confirms your employment abroad is legal, documented, and protected under Philippine labor laws. It's a mandatory document for all Filipino workers leaving the country for overseas employment.
Our Role in Your OEC Processing
We’ve partnered with duly licensed Philippine recruitment agencies that are authorized to process your POEA/DMW documentation and issue your OEC. Here's what you can expect:
Step-by-step guidance throughout the entire process—from contract verification to securing your PDOS (Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar) certificate
Legal processing support through licensed partners to ensure your employment contract meets DMW standards
Clear timelines and document checklists so nothing is missed
Direct coordination with POLO (Philippine Overseas Labor Office) and DMW representatives on your behalf
Our goal is simple: to ensure that you leave the Philippines fully compliant, protected, and ready for your teaching journey abroad.
At The Pedagogy Institute, we don’t just get you hired—we get you cleared, compliant, and confidently on your way.
