A contingent of officials and faculty members from Davao del Sur State College (DSSC), led by President Dr. Augie E. Fuentes, participated in the Onsite Simultaneous Training of Accreditors organized by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Inc. The training took place from August 12-14, 2024, at the University of Southeastern Philippines, Barangay Obrero, Davao City.

The training aimed to prepare new accreditors for Preliminary, Level I, and Level II surveys and enhance the skills of experienced accreditors for 3rd and 4th level surveys. It featured workshops, hands-on activities, and discussions led by veteran accreditors and quality assurance experts, providing valuable insights into accreditation standards, evaluation procedures, and best practices.

DSSC's participation highlights the college’s dedication to strengthening its quality assurance processes. Faculty members with at least the rank of Assistant Professor were nominated for the training.

Dr. Eric Rellon and Ma'am Garnette Balacy trained for Preliminary, Level I, and Level II Surveys, while VPAA Dr. Siverlyn Camposano, ITEd Dean Dr. Cindy Rosil, Dr. Meliza Alo, Dr. Quennie, IGPE Dean Dr. Harih Lopez, OSAS Director Dr. Jeric Anthony Arnado, DI Aemie Lee Trinidad, Librarian Rosedilla L.
