RESULTS WATCH: The September 2026 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LET) was administered on Sunday, September 20, 2026 for both Elementary and Secondary levels. Based on the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)’s standard processing window, LET results are typically released within 50 to 55 working days of the exam, which places the target release for the September 2026 LET around mid to late November 2026 (approximately November 24 to 30, 2026). Treat this as a working estimate, not a guaranteed posting time — PRC releases can come earlier or later depending on final processing.
This guide explains what future Licensed Professional Teachers should do while waiting for the September 2026 LET results, where to check the official list of passers, how to verify your rating, and what to do next — whether you pass and move on to the oath-taking and PRC ID release, or need to re-take the exam in March 2027.
When Will the September 2026 LET Results Be Released?
PRC does not commit to a fixed release date for LET results. For recent LET cycles, the release has fallen roughly 50 to 55 working days after the exam date. Applied to the September 20, 2026 exam, that projects to a target window of approximately November 24 to 30, 2026. Some cycles are released a few days earlier or later. For reference, PRC released the March 2026 LET results in early May 2026, roughly 52 working days after that exam.
What usually happens on release day:
- PRC posts the official list of passers on its main website (prc.gov.ph) and its verified social media accounts.
- Separate lists are published for the Elementary level and the Secondary level.
- Individual ratings become viewable on the PRC LERIS online account of each examinee shortly after the mass release.
- PRC also publishes the top 10 performers, the overall passing rate for each level, and the list of top-performing schools.
How to Check the Official List of Passers
The list of passers is released only by PRC. To avoid fake or edited lists that circulate on social media around release day, use only these official channels:
- PRC official website: Visit https://www.prc.gov.ph/ and open the News & Events section, or look for the LET result announcement on the homepage.
- PRC official Facebook page: The official page (Professional Regulation Commission — official) usually posts a downloadable PDF of the passers list.
- Your PRC LERIS account: Log in at https://online.prc.gov.ph/ to view your individual rating and passing status.
Search the PDF for your name using Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac). If your name appears, congratulations — you are now a Licensed Professional Teacher pending oath-taking and issuance of your Professional Identification Card.
How to Verify Your Rating and Passing Status
After the mass release of the list of passers, PRC opens rating verification through the LERIS online account. Here is how to check yours:
- Log in to your PRC LERIS account at https://online.prc.gov.ph/.
- Under your dashboard, look for the “Examinee Details” or “Board Rating” section for the September 2026 LET.
- Your General Average and per-subject ratings will be shown once processing is complete on PRC’s side.
LET passing rule: To pass the LET, an examinee must obtain a General Weighted Average (GWA) of at least 75%, with no rating lower than 50% in any subject area. Failure in a single component (for example, a score below 50 in Professional Education) results in failing the whole exam even if the overall average is at least 75.
If you cannot access your LERIS account: reset your password through the LERIS login page or contact PRC through official channels. Do not send your PRC credentials to third parties or “verification services” on social media.
Historical Context: Recent LET Passing Rates
The passing rate for the LET varies per cycle. For reference, the most recent cycle before September 2026 was:
- March 2026 LET: Overall passing rate of approximately 67.17%, with 63,377 new Licensed Professional Teachers. Cebu Normal University swept the top 1 spot in both Elementary and Secondary levels.
Historically, LET passing rates for the Elementary level tend to fall between 30% and 45%, while Secondary level rates fall between 35% and 50%. The March 2026 cycle was unusually high; the September 2026 cycle is expected to normalize closer to the historical range.
What to Do If You Pass the September 2026 LET
Passing the LET makes you eligible to be a Licensed Professional Teacher (LPT). Before you can officially sign your name with “LPT” and be issued a PRC ID, you must complete the following:
- Wait for the PRC oath-taking schedule. PRC and the Board for Professional Teachers usually announce the mass oath-taking dates within a few weeks of the release of results. Announcements are posted on the PRC website and regional office pages.
- Prepare oath-taking requirements. These typically include the notice of admission (or examinee number), a valid ID, the fees for the Professional Identification Card (PIC) and Certificate of Registration (COR), and the required attire (usually formal, white top and black pants or skirt).
- Attend the oath-taking ceremony. Only those who have taken the oath are considered fully licensed. PRC will not issue the PIC and COR without oath-taking.
- Register initial payment of Professional Tax Receipt (PTR) at your local government unit if required by your future employer, especially for private schools or Local School Board positions.
- Apply for teaching positions. You can now apply for permanent teacher positions under DepEd through the DepEd Ranking System, or for private school and international school positions that require a valid LPT license.
What to Do If You Did Not Pass
Not passing on the first try is common — the majority of LET examinees are, in fact, not first-time passers. The next LET is scheduled for March 2027, giving you approximately five months to review.
- Review your per-subject ratings. Identify the specific components (General Education, Professional Education, Specialization) where you underperformed, and rebuild your review plan around those areas.
- Confirm eligibility. There is no limit to the number of times an examinee can re-take the LET, but re-takers must file a new application with PRC via LERIS for the next cycle.
- File your March 2027 application on time. Filing usually opens in late 2026 through early 2027. Check our LET March 2027 prep guide for the schedule, requirements, and coverage.
- Use a structured reviewer. Passive re-reading rarely produces improvement between cycles. Active practice with rationale-driven items is more effective.
Common Questions About LET Results
Q: Will PRC announce the release date in advance?
PRC does not always confirm the exact release date before posting. The list is usually released without prior public notice on the day itself.
Q: What if my name is not on the passers list but my LERIS shows a passing rating?
This should not happen if you are looking at the correct level (Elementary vs Secondary). Double-check the list for your level. If there is a genuine discrepancy, contact PRC through official channels immediately.
Q: How soon after release day can I take my oath?
Mass oath-taking is usually scheduled 3 to 6 weeks after the release of results. Regional oath-taking schedules may differ from the Manila mass oath.
Q: Can I apply for a teaching position while waiting for my PIC?
Yes. Many schools accept the initial certification of passing from PRC as interim proof of licensure, but they will require the final PIC and COR to complete your hiring papers.
