Requirements for Repeaters for the Licensure Exam for Psychometrician

(Note: this is not an official PRC list, it needs further verification
This serves as advance information to all those who have been asking us 
re requirements as per our latest contact with the PRC.)


Updated 26 May 2015 

Bring your old NOA and also a print out of your rating. 

For those asking - YES you can file application for examination both repeaters or first timers at the regional PRC office. No need to come to Manila and suffer yourself with the congestion and chaos at the PRC main office. Also, examination will be held in several key cities: Baguio, Manila, Legaspi, Cebu, and Davao.

-----------------------------------------

Based from the information we gathered from PRC, above would be the list of requirements for those who are repeaters or will retake the licensure exam for Psychometrician (BLEPP) this coming July 21-22, 2015.  So from the original requirements last year the only documents not included for repeaters to submit are the Certificates of Good Moral Character.

So before going to PRC to file your application for the licensure exam, try to secure first all the listed requirements above. At least both NBI and NSO documents could now be ordered or applied online.

There might be changes once PRC entertain application this coming month of May 2015, so just be open to any possibilities of either inclusions or exclusions of documents. And do let us know once you apply of the exact requirements for repeaters for us to inform others as well.

As to the process - first visit the PRC website, click the online application system and update your data or information for changes and save it.

Then, visit the closest PRC office in your place and follow the process of application by submitting those required original/photocopied documents.





Good luck to all repeaters and may you all make it this time!
Kami naman sa 2015!

Certificate of Authentication and Validation (CAV) - Documentary Requirement

In the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 10029 or the Psychology Act of 2009,  applicants whose TOR does not have an SO this rule applies found in:
Sec. 13-A Documentary Requirements to the Licensure Examination of Psychometricians
c. Original and photocopy of transcript of records (with scanned picture) indicating the Special Order (S.O.) number, and where school is exempted from the issuance of an S.O. a Certificate of Authentication and Validation (CAV) from CHED.

We are sharing here samples of CAV - Certification, Authentication and Verification issued by CHED REgional IV-A (CALABARZON) and CHED National Capital Region shared to us by our two of our blog and FB readers who got their CAV lately.


Mr. Carl Reman shared his experience below:

The first thing na ginawa ko ay nagfile po ako ng request sa Registrar's Office. I paid 250.00 for the authentication of my TOR and Diploma. They also gave me an endorsement letter. When I'm in CHED na po okay naman po ang experience. Make sure may dala pong valid ID. 

May mga guard naman po sa bawat floor so pwede po silang tanungin kung saang room ang CHED regional office. I gave my documents to the administrative clerk then waited for few minutes. Then I paid PhP 40.00 and waited for some minutes. After they will check with you  kung tama po ang spelling ng name, school, address. Then kapag okay na po papareceive'an na nila yung draft ng CAV then yun okay na po.

This was not the the scenario I saw last time.  All seats were taken and there were more people lining up from ground floor up to this Hall of the Application Division.  Note that until the end of the year there will be 16 professions that will take place so file not your application to avoid the rush.

Checklist of Requirements for Psychometrician Licensure Exam

Updated - September 2, 2014

FAQ - Which document should have a documentary stamp? How many documentary stamps are needed? Where to get and how much?

Answer: Documentary stamp should be affixed to your 3 Certificates of Good Moral Character. Original copies will be submitted. But in case your are submitting a certified true copy of your Certificate of Good Moral Character (in the case of a half page school issued certificate - not printed on a bond paper so it can't contain the notary), it will serve as as original copy and can be submitted to PRC - still the original (ex. of the 1/2 page school certificate) should be shown and submitted to PRC together with the other certificates - notarized and with documentary stamp.

You will need 4 documentary stamps - 3 for the certificate and 1 for the application form. Depending on the place where you purchase the documentary stamp, it could be in the office of barangay captain, post office, or PRC, prices varies (it costs 35 pesos from vendors at PRC).

FAQ - Is Barangay Clearance same with the Certificate of Good Moral character?

Answer - Per PRC, for as long as the word "of good moral character" appears in the Barangay Clearance then the clearance can serve as an equivalent of the Certificate of Good Moral Character from the Barangay.

Comment from our FB

Chin Bona Hi Sir! Just want to share my experience since I went to PRC yesterday. The PRC didn't accept my Good Moral Character from my School since there was no good moral key words stated on the content. The school has a different format and content which states that I was not involved in any disciplinary act but the PRC didn't accept it. I don't know what to do because when I asked the Registrar of my school, they said that they won't change the content of the good moral that has given to me since they have their own format and that it can't be changed.

So always try to follow to the letters those that are being required by PRC otherwise you will keep going back complying their requirements.

Re certificates if you are not yet employed then get fromschool, church and your barangay (one certificate each).



With the PRC email that was sent to all those who already got their NOA, and with calls and email received from PRC that clarified the matter please be guided of this new and updated set of requirements, especially for the benefit of those who are yet to submit their application:

1) On the Certificates of Good Moral Character:

a) 3 Certificates each from school, work, barangay or church, most of the time these certificates contain a dry seal or printed in a special paper or letterhead of issuing institutions. (Re Barangay Clearance instead of Certificate of Good Moral Character - please check it with PRC if they accept Barangay Clearance in lieu of the Certificate of Good  Moral Character.)

b) Certificates should be notarized by a notary public (dry seal does not mean it is notarized already).

c) Each of the notarized good moral certificates should contain each a documentary stamp. You can purchase documentary stamp at PRC (more expensive) other alternative sources - from your city/municipal hall, barangay hall, or the post office.

2) On the Certificate of Authentication and Validation
Check discussion and exchange here - https://www.facebook.com/psychometricianreviewer/posts/249070291970124

The email of PRC was mass distributed even tho those whose TOR already contained a SO (special order). But it seems individually they have replied to calls and email verifying on their email that CAV only apply  to those TOR without SO. Check with your school and get the endorsement for CHED application of CAV.  CHED is the only government agency that releases SO. Some schools with their liaison officers are in charge of facilitating the application of the CAV of their students and alumni, for a fee. It take 3 weeks for the CAV to obtain. So for those whose TOR does not contain a SO make sure to apply it from your school or get endorsement for you to apply to CHED. Remember deadline for the application for the licensure Exam is on October 8, 2014.
