Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 26) — Licensure examinations for May and June this year can now push through, subject to strict protocols, Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said on Friday.
“The IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force) approved the request of the Professional Regulation Commission to conduct and administer the licensure examinations for professionals scheduled for May and June 2021, following strict health protocols as approved by the Department of Health,” Roque said in a statement.
“Examinees from areas under General Community Quarantine are strongly discouraged from traveling to areas under Modified General Community Quarantine to prevent COVID-19 transmission to low-risk areas,” he added.
Exams for civil engineers, chemical engineers, and nurses will be held in May, according to PRC. Tests for graduates of accountancy were also supposed to be held in May, but its conduct was postponed to October.
Meanwhile, examinations for midwives, physical therapists and occupational therapists, architects, and criminologists, will be held in June.
