Multimillion computer based licensure examination project in the pipeline for PRC 8 in 2025

TACLOBAN CITY – More or less P9 million pesos is in the pipeline for the Professional Regulation Commission Regional Office VIII to fund its computerization of licensure examination by the third quarter of 2025.

 PRC-VIII Regional Armond M. Englis said the office is currently in the procurement process for the venue for their Computer Based Licensure Examination (CBLE) while the internet infrastructure will follow soon after.

 This particular modality of licensure examination involves the examinees’ use of fully computerized facilities such as laptops in a virtual private network (VPN) and in a securely proctored venue to ensure the integrity and credibility of the examination administered.

 Resorting to the utilization of ICT infrastructure in the conduct of the CBLE will not only yield efficient, systematic and fast results but could prove to be a better option saving time, space and resources particularly with logistics, and in mobilizing, administering and consummating the licensure examinations being held.

 Further, Dir. Englis said, fixing it in appropriate venue for the conduct of the CBLE will no longer require rental and use of classrooms in various private and public schools therefore avoiding interruption of classes.
