ExploreAbout this exam
The Electronics Engineer licensure examination is one of the licensure examinations administered under the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), the agency mandated to implement the regulatory laws and policies for the various regulated professions. Passing it is the route to registration as an Electronics Engineer and to a Professional Identification Card (PIC), which is renewed through the PRC's online services. The PRC publishes examination schedules, room assignments, and the list of requirements for applicants, and it operates the online application system for examination; those pages, not third-party sites, are the authoritative source for deadlines and documentary requirements. Preparation should center on the official requirements list, the published examination schedule, and the Citizen's Charter, which states the requirements and timelines for the release of relevant documents. Candidates should also know that the PRC states it is not involved in the production, sale, and distribution of review materials and does not endorse or advertise them, so proximity of sellers to PRC premises guarantees nothing about quality. Before applying, create your own online profile, keep your password private, and pay only through the authorized payment channels specified on the website.
What you'll study
About PRC EPLE preparation
Where do I apply for the Electronics Engineer licensure examination?
Through the PRC's online application system for examination, linked from the Examination eServices section of www.prc.gov.ph. The same site lists the requirements for applicants and the examination schedule. Create your own online profile rather than letting anyone else do it, and double-check your entries, because wrong data can invalidate your application.
Which websites are actually official?
The PRC states that it manages and administers these official websites: www.prc.gov.ph, online.prc.gov.ph, cpdas.prc.gov.ph, and crms.prc.gov.ph. Its official Facebook page is the one at facebook.com/professionalregulationcommission. Sites and pages such as prcboardnews, prcexamsresult.blogspot.com, boardexamresultsph, prcpassers, and prcboard are expressly disclaimed as not connected to or authorized by the PRC.
Is the exam hard, and how should I order my study?
The PRC does not publish difficulty ratings, so treat claims about passing rates on unofficial sites with suspicion. A sensible order is: confirm your eligibility against the official list of requirements, build your own online profile early, then study around the published examination schedule so your review ends before your application deadlines, not after them.
Can I retake the examination if I do not pass?
The retrieved PRC page does not state a retake policy, number of attempts, or waiting period for the Electronics Engineer examination. Do not rely on numbers circulating on unofficial sites. Check the PRC's official website and the Citizen's Charter for the current rule before you plan a second attempt, and confirm with the Licensure Office if the website is unclear.
How long is my license valid, and what about CPD?
The page does not state a PIC validity period. It does state that acceptance of a CPD undertaking for PIC renewal is extended until December 31, 2026, and that signing the undertaking is not a waiver of CPD compliance, which must be completed on the next renewal cycle. Renewal is done through the PRC online portal.
Someone offered to help me pass for a fee. Should I bite?
No. The PRC warns against fixers posing as or claiming to know a Board Chairperson or Member or PRC officials and offering to help you pass or facilitate a transaction for money. Report such offers to the Licensure Office (Metro Manila telephone 5310-0024) or the Legal Service (telephone (02) 8735-6933, mobile 0995-185-2892).
Are the review materials sold near the PRC office reliable?
Not necessarily. The PRC states it is not involved in the production, sale, and distribution of review materials for licensure examinations, does not endorse or advertise them, and is not affiliated with sellers or distributors, particularly those situated close to PRC premises. Proximity to the PRC does not guarantee the quality and credibility of the materials.
Where do I transact if I am in Metro Manila?
Effective October 2025, all public transactions of PRC-NCR are conducted at the new office at ETON CENTRIS, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City: Cyberpod 2, 14th Floor for regulation division matters such as change of name or status and CPD concerns, and Cyberpod 3, Ground Floor, beside 7-Eleven, for registration and application transactions. The PRC Main Office in Sampaloc, Manila no longer accepts public transactions.
I passed before October 2011. How do I get my Certificate of Board Rating and Passing?
The PRC's list of professions requiring an online appointment for the Certificate of Board Rating and Passing covers Electronics Engineer from October 2011 to date. If you passed prior to the listed period, the PRC advises making the request as a walk-in client at any PRC Regional Office or Service Center near you.
