May 2026 SPLE in S'pore done: 32 board exams offered, next round not yet set

The May 2026 SPLE in Singapore is over, and PRC has not set the next round.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ran its Special Professional Licensure Examination here on 29, 30 and 31 May 2026.

The SPLE lets a Filipino professional in Singapore sit a Philippine board exam without flying to Manila.

What happened

PRC first set the Singapore exam for 28 to 30 May. On 27 March, it cancelled the Middle East sittings for safety reasons and moved Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan to 29 to 31 May.

The MWO Singapore page still shows the old 28 to 30 May dates. PRC's reschedule notice is the later and correct version.

Applications ran from 16 February to 16 March 2026.

An earlier FIS report put the Singapore sitting at HFSE International School with 163 examinees. PRC and MWO have not published a venue or headcount we could confirm.

Who could sit

PRC's 2026 call offered 39 exams. Its reschedule notice lists 32 for Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan.

The list included nurses, civil, mechanical, electrical and electronics engineers, medical technologists, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, radiologic technologists and midwives.

It also covered CPAs, professional teachers, psychologists, psychometricians, social workers, architects, customs brokers, criminologists, agriculturists, veterinarians and real estate appraisers.

Fees and documents

Examinees brought originals for onsite checking by the PRC team:

1. Printed LERIS application form.
2. Two passport-size photos, white background, with name tag.
3. Documents required by your profession's board.
4. Marriage certificate, for married female applicants.

A valid passport replaced the birth certificate and NBI clearance.

Results

PRC released results by profession through June and July. Teacher results came out on 2 July 2026.

Across Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, 41 of 99 elementary teachers and 126 of 187 secondary teachers passed.

Passers register online at prc.gov.ph, then register in person with a valid ID and sign the Roster of Registered Professionals.

The next round

As of 7 October 2026, neither PRC nor MWO Singapore has announced the next SPLE.

PRC held SPLEs in June 2025 and May 2026. The 2026 application window opened about three months before the exam. A similar 2027 timeline is possible but not confirmed.

Examinees whose sittings were cancelled can move their paid applications to the next two SPLEs or to local exams in the Philippines.

What to do now

Prepare your transcript and board documents early. Windows close fast.

File leave as soon as dates come out. The 2026 sitting ran Friday to Sunday.

Check PRC and MWO Singapore each month for the next call.
