Tip: Make sure you're logged in using your official DepEd credentials for access.

✅ Step 2: Confirm Data Source

After clicking "Enrol Learner," a confirmation page will appear asking you to confirm the source of the data. Click the "Continue" button to proceed.

✅ Step 3b: For Existing Learners

If the learner already has a record, simply click the "Preview" button beside the learner’s name on the search results table.
