Professional Regulatory Board
A Professional Regulatory Board exercises administrative, quasi-legislative, and quasi-judicial powers over their respective professions. In the Philippines for example, a PRB preforms these functions subject to review and approval by a Professional Regulation Commission:
- Prepare the contents of licensure examinations. Determine, prescribe, and revise the course requirements
- Recommend measures necessary for advancement in their fields
- Visit / inspect schools and establishments for feedback
- Adopt and enforce a Code of ethics for the practice of their respective professions
- Administer oaths and issue Certificate of Registration
- Investigate violations of set professional standards and adjudicate administrative and other cases against erring registrants
- Suspend, revoke, or reissue Certificate of Registration for causes provided by law
