How to upgrade?

HOW TO UPGRADE YOU REE LICENSE TO PEE

"To upgrade from REE to PEE in the Philippines, it's governed by RA 7920 Sec 16 & 19 and Rule 14 of its IRR. There is no written exam — it's by assessment of experience + technical report + oral interview by the Board of Electrical Engineering.

1. Basic Qualifications - Sec 16 RA 7920
You must prove to the Board that on or before registration:

1. Filipino Citizen
2. Good moral character with high moral values
3. No conviction for offense involving moral turpitude
4. BSEE Graduate - from CHED-recognized school
5. Registered Electrical Engineer - with valid COR and Professional ID
6. 4+ years ACTIVE practice counted from the date you took oath as REE. Not from the board passing date.

If you were originally under RA 184 (Asst EE / Asso EE), you need to be REE first under RA 7920, then 4 years after that.

2. Documents Required for PEE Application - Rule 14 IRR
This is what PRC will ask you to submit:

1. PRC Application Form 101 + PRC Form 203 (Permanent Registration Record)
2. Proof of citizenship + Birth Certificate
3. Valid REE license / ID (updated)
4. Certified Experience Record - notarized, from date you took oath as REE. Must include inclusive dates, companies worked for, specific responsibilities, significant accomplishments, name and position of immediate supervisors
5. Technical Paper / Technical Report - evaluation, analysis, study, or critical discussion of an electrical engineering project or subject. Must be your own work and shows PEE-level competence
6. At least 3 Affidavits from PEEs - PEEs certifying your experience, competence, and character. This is mandatory. Mentoring Program with IIEE is _optional_, not required.
7. Certificate of membership in good standing with IIEE (APO)
8. CPD compliance (current requirement as per PRC)
9. NBI Clearance / Other clearances as required by PRC.

3. Process After Submission

1. Document screening by BEE
2. *Oral Examination / Interview* - Board will clarify your experience record and technical report
3. If approved, you take oath as PEE and can now sign and seal plans with full scope. 99f5

*ACPE?* ACPE Registration is _NOT_ a mandatory requirement for PEE, per IIEE Memo 005-2025. It can help enhance your qualification but not required.

*Common reason for denial:* Experience is not "distinct and responsible" — e.g. pure maintenance / technician work only, or gap in practice. The BEE looks for design, supervision, evaluation, or management."
