The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has successfully conducted the 3rd Special Professional Licensure Examination (SPLE) in Bahrain from 22 to 24 March at the University Technology of Bahrain.
Around 161 Filipino workers were listed to take the examinations. The Special Professional Licensure Board Examinations (SPLBE), which started in 1997, allows Filipinos who are graduates of certain programs but were not able to take the licensure exams prior to their acceptance of a job overseas, may take it without going back home to the Philippines.
It is a measure of enhancing the employability and competitiveness of qualified Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) as it would greatly boost their edge in the labour market from the field of engineering, architecture, education and nurses, among other professions.
Officers and members of Philippine Professional Organization Bahrain were also present during the three-day special exam.
