Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET)

To be a licensed teacher in the Philippines, a graduate of Bachelor of Elementary Education needs to pass the Licensure Examination for Elementary Teachers (LET). The examination is conducted by the Board of Professional Teachers under the supervision of the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC). Starting 2014, the LET exam will be conducted twice a year in the months of January and July.

There are three main categories of subjects included in the exam and each category has its corresponding weight: General Education (20%), Professional Education (40%) and the field of Specialization (40%). (see source)

To pass the examination an examinee must obtain an average rating of not less than 75% and must have no rating lower than 50% in any of the tests. You can view the passing rates in the Licensure Exam for Elementary Teachers here.

Teacher Certificate Program

The Teacher Certificate Program (TCP) is a non-degree program designed for individuals who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in any field and who intend to become teachers. TCP is the fastest way to get into the Teaching Profession, because it requires only 18 units of Professional Education subjects to qualify for taking the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).

Individuals who complete the TCP are given a certification (NOT a degree or diploma) that they have completed the 18-unit professional education requirement to be allowed to take the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). (See sources 1, 2, 3)
