Exam outline and official sources
Professional Regulation Commission (Philippines), Professional Regulatory Board for Social Workers · Enhanced Tables of Specifications adopted by Board Resolution No. 04, series of 2022, dated September 13, 2022; published September 16, 2022, with immediate effect and application beginning with the September 2022 examination. The official PRC board page continues to list this resolution as of October 18, 2026; a superseding outline was not established. Registered Social Worker (RSW) is the professional designation associated with the Philippine SWLE, not a separate examination. Subject weights are explicitly attributed below to the historical September 2025 official examination program; the September 2026 program could not be inspected.
