LET Application Timeline + How Room Assignments Work
LET application guide — PRC LERIS filing, the documents PRC asks for, how school and room assignments are posted, and what to bring and wear on exam day.
By Super Tutor Team
The let application process looks straightforward on paper. Apply on PRC LERIS, submit your documents, pay ₱900, check your school and room assignment. In practice, applicants trip up every cycle — missing the filing deadline, submitting a transcript without the right remark, or showing up at the wrong school on exam day. This guide walks through the timeline, the requirements, how assignments are posted, and the traps that delay first-time takers.
The Two LET Sittings per Year
PRC has run the Licensure Examination for Teachers twice a year — in 2025 and 2026, both on Sundays:
- March sitting — 23 March 2025; 15 March 2026.
- September sitting — 21 September 2025; 20 September 2026.
For the 2026 sittings, PRC's filing windows were 3 December 2025 to 3 February 2026 (March exam) and 22 May to 23 July 2026 (September exam). The September 2026 LET has been held; PRC targets releasing results by 27 November 2026. The next LET is expected around March 2027, but PRC hasn't published its 2027 schedule yet — watch prc.gov.ph for the date and filing window.
The Application Timeline at a Glance
Before the Window Opens: Your LERIS Account
All PRC applications go through LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph. If you don't already have an account, set one up well before the filing window opens, so you aren't fighting the system in the final week.
Documents Ready
PRC's list of requirements for professional teachers asks for:
- PSA birth certificate.
- PSA marriage contract — for married female applicants.
- Transcript of Records — with a scanned picture and the remark "For Board Examination Purposes" (for first-timers and repeaters).
For Elementary you need a BEEd/BSEEd degree; for Secondary, a BSEd (or equivalent) with a major and minor, or a bachelor's degree in arts and sciences with at least 18 units of Professional Education. Schools can take weeks to release transcripts with the board-exam remark during peak season. Request yours early.
File the Application
Log into LERIS, choose the LET and your testing centre, and complete the application. Then submit your documents at the PRC Regional Office or Offsite Service Centre within the filing window, and pay the ₱900 fee. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, it moves to the next working day. Late filing is only allowed in the specific cases covered by PRC Commission Resolution No. 2092 (s. 2025), so don't count on it.
Notice of Admission
Your Notice of Admission (NOA) is your entry document — it's the first item on PRC's list of things to bring on exam day. Print it, and read the instructions on it carefully.
School and Room Assignment
PRC's exam programme tells examinees to check their school or building assignment on the PRC website (prc.gov.ph) or on the notices posted at PRC premises two to three working days before the exam. Check early and check again — don't wait until the night before.
Testing Centres
For the September 2026 LET, PRC listed 45 testing centres, including NCR, Baguio, Pampanga, Laguna, Lipa (Batangas), Lucena, Legazpi, Tuguegarao, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, Tacloban, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, General Santos and Butuan, among many others. See the testing centres guide for the full list.
Pick the centre closest to where you'll actually be the night before. The exam programme asks you to report by 5:30 AM, and late examinees are not admitted — an unfamiliar city and an early start is a risky combination.
What Your Exam Day Looks Like
The LET is a one-day exam. From PRC's September 2026 programme:
- Report to your assigned school or building no later than 5:30 AM.
- 7:00–7:45 AM — general instructions and filling out of forms.
- 8:00–10:00 AM — General Education.
- 11:00 AM–2:00 PM — Professional Education.
- 3:00–6:30 PM — Specialization (Secondary, and the elementary-with-specialization track).
Exam Day Logistics
What to Bring
- Notice of Admission.
- One long transparent white plastic envelope (for valuables and allowed items).
- One long brown envelope.
- Two or more No. 2 pencils.
- A ballpen with black ink.
- Packed snacks, meals, medicines and hygiene kits in transparent containers, and enough drinking water for the day. No one — including food delivery — may pass food to examinees during the exam.
What to Wear
Male examinees: a tucked-in white polo shirt with collar (no seal, logo or mark) and decent pants or slacks. Female examinees: a tucked-in white blouse or shirt with collar (no seal, logo or mark) and decent pants or slacks.
What's Banned
- Books, notes, review materials, and anything with coded data or formulas.
- Calculators of any kind for Elementary. For Secondary, calculators are banned except for Mathematics majors, who may bring one calculator from PRC's approved list; it will be inspected and reset.
- Smartwatches, phones, earplugs, transmitters, laptops and other electronic devices.
- Bags of any kind.
Except for restroom breaks, examinees may not leave the room while the exam is in progress. If your school is one you've never visited, do a dry run the day before — find the gate and the building.
The Application Traps That Delay First-Timers
- Leaving LERIS to the last week — create your account and start early.
- Transcript without the right remark — it must carry a scanned picture and "For Board Examination Purposes".
- Name mismatches — between your birth certificate, transcript and current name. Married female applicants need the PSA marriage contract.
- Missing the filing deadline — late filing is only allowed in narrow cases.
- Wrong level — the 18-units-of-Professional-Education route is for Secondary only.
After the Exam
PRC released the March 2026 results on 12 May 2026, 39 working days after the exam. For the September 2026 sitting, the target is 27 November 2026. Results are announced on the PRC website.
If you pass, registration for your Certificate of Registration and professional ID is now done online: PRC's recent results announcements ask for a screenshot of the system-generated registration form and a valid government-issued ID. The initial registration fee is ₱1,050, which covers the ID and certificate. Oath-taking dates are announced separately. Passing the exam alone doesn't make you licensed — you need to register.

FAQ
Can I switch testing centres after applying?
Ask the PRC regional office as early as possible. Don't assume a change will be possible close to exam day.
What if I miss the filing window?
You'll usually need to wait for the next sitting. PRC allows late filing only in the cases covered by Commission Resolution No. 2092 (s. 2025).
How early should I arrive on exam day?
PRC's programme says to report no later than 5:30 AM. Late examinees are not admitted.
Are calculators allowed?
Not for Elementary. For Secondary, only Mathematics majors may bring a calculator, and it must be a model on PRC's approved list.
What if my assignment isn't posted?
Check the PRC website and the notices at PRC premises, which are posted two to three working days before the exam. If you still can't find it, contact or visit the PRC regional office before exam day.
