LET Application 2026: Requirements, Fee and Dates
Quick answer
The LET fee is PHP 900, paid when you file on PRC LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph. In 2026 the exam was held on March 15 and September 20, and filing for both has closed. Education graduates qualify, and other graduates need at least 18 units of professional education.
What are the requirements?
Who can take the LET (RA 7836, Sec. 15, as amended by RA 9293):
- Elementary level: a Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) or its equivalent.
- Secondary level: a Bachelor of Secondary Education with a major, or any bachelor's degree plus at least 18 units in professional education.
- Vocational and two-year technical course teachers: a bachelor's degree in the field plus at least 18 units in professional education.
How PRC counts the 18 units: 12 units must cover four clusters, one subject each. The clusters are educational psychology, teaching principles and techniques, principles of education, and measurement and evaluation. The other 6 units can be any two professional education courses on the PRC list, such as curriculum development or practice teaching.
Documents: the standard PRC set. It includes the LERIS form, your PSA birth certificate, a PHP 50 documentary stamp and a TOR marked "For PRC Purposes Only". The full list is in our LERIS application guide.
