Licensure Exams for OFWs in Saudi

Last month, the PRC under the supervision of Department of Labor and Employment conducted board examinations on different testing locations in State of Saudi Arabia. The goal is to reach out OFWs based in Saudi who are eligible to take the licensure examination so that they could be certified in accordance to Professional Regulatory Commission once they passed the exam.

The last time PRC administered a board examination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is on 2004 and there were only two exams available during that time: Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. With the licensure exam held on December 2007, PRC was able to conduct test for Mechanical Engineering, Professional Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Master Electrician, Electrical Engineering and Architecture.

For OFWs in Saudi, this is the opportunity that nobody wants to miss. I admire the PRC for this reaching out activity that gave our kabayans in Saudi a chance to take the board even if they are working overseas.

A month later, PRC released the result and I congratulate all the successful examinees, our new OFW Engineers - Welcome Aboard!..

Here are the links to view the list of board passers for the special PRC board exams for OFWs:

Hi Carl,

If PRC will give a special Geodetic Engineering board exam for OFW, there is a possibility that it the venue is Saudi.

The special exam is being conducted in a case to case basis and without defined date and year, I suggest you contact the PRC personally to clarify your concern. Here is the PRC contact number and email add:

PHILIPPINE REGULATORY COMMISSION

Hi Generek,

First let me give my regards sa mga kabaro natin jan sa Dubai - Kabayan..

Regarding the inquiry, I think mas oks po if you can contact PRC as i’ve mentioned in the previous comment.

Hindi pa po yata nagbigay ng exam ang PRC sa Dubai, pero who knows maybe giving special exam sa dubai, qatar, bahrain and other mid east eh one of their activities in the future.

to all fellow ECE grads in KSA planning to take the coming exam ..i think it is better for us to communicate with each other this will be good for us with regards to review modules and to keep us updated with the new topics. we can share ideas and learn new techniques to help us pass the board exam..
