This study employed a descriptive research design to determine the feasibility of establishing the West Visayas State University–Himamaylan City Campus as a TESDA-accredited NC II Assessment Center for Food and Beverage Services. Data were gathered through purposive sampling, involving faculty, staff, students, parents, and experts, as well as an inventory of facilities, analysis of assessor qualifications, and evaluation of financial projections. The results showed that although minor adjustments are needed to completely comply with TESDA standards, the campus possesses the necessary technology, facilities, and a certified in-house assessor. After covering the first expenditures of accreditation, financial research revealed that the center is feasible, exhibiting sustainability and prospective profitability. Stakeholders gave the perceived benefits and impact a "Very High" rating, highlighting the center's contributions to raising the caliber of training, facilitating certification, and boosting employability for graduates. According to the study's findings, the NC II Assessment Center's establishment is quite possible, backed by strong stakeholder confidence, institutional preparedness, and financial feasibility.
