SPLE 2023 in Doha.png


DOHA 26 April 2023 – Philippine Ambassador to the State of Qatar H.E. Lillibeth V. Pono spearheaded the Philippine Embassy’s provision of administrative and logistical support to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and Migrant Workers Office (MWO) for the successful conduct of the Special Professional Licensure Examinations (SPLE) on 22-24 April 2023.

Held at the Philippine International School-Qatar (PISQ) in Doha, this year’s SPLE featured at least 20 licensure examinations across various disciplines and drew in a total of 637 Filipino examinees residing and/or working in Qatar.

In her inspection of the SPLE venue on 22 April 2023, Ambassador Pono noted the generally peaceful proceedings and commended the concerned officials and volunteers for their efforts in ensuring the success of the SPLE.

Pursuant to Executive Order No. 835, series of 2009, the SPLE is held annually to give unlicensed OFWs the opportunity to take the licensure board examinations while residing and working in the Middle East region without the need of returning to the Philippines.

Prior to 2023, the latest SPLE was held in 2019. Subsequent editions in 2020, 2021, and 2022 were suspended on account of the restrictions in mobility put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19.
