The Professional Regulation Commission, as we all know, holds their exams yearly and it depends on what exam you are going to take. Sometimes, they release their schedules early; early to the point that they are scheduled a year after. Exams differ on schedule and in location. I am unsure if they exempt some exams to be taken at different locations, you may want to directly ask the PRC about that.
In this article, I am going to relay all the schedule of the PRC within 2017. If you are planning to take or is scheduled to take it this 2017, I advise you to get a pen and list down the schedules you are about to see.
