No. 223 dated June 22, 1973, signed by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos. It was previously called the Office of the Boards of Examiners created by Republic Act No. 546 on June 17, 1950, under the Civil Service Commission (CSC) .  \nThe PRC became operational on January 4, 1974 with the assumption into office of the first set of appointed Commissioners and Associate Commissioners. That year, Arch. Eric C. Nubla assumed office as Commissioner. The PRC was placed under the Office of the President for general supervision and coordination. The Implementing Rules and Regulations of P.D. No. 223 was promulgated on December 9, 1974.

It also started accrediting professional organizations. On October 11, 1975 Presidential Decree No. 839 was issued placing the PRC under the general direction and coordination of the CSC.  \nIn August 1976, the PRC entered into an agreement with the Civil Service Commission to register all board examination passers as civil service eligibles pursuant to R.A. 1080, as amended.  \nIn 1977, the PRC started issuing registration cards valid for 3 years pursuant to Letter of Instruction No.  \n567.

In 1988, the Board of Accountancy started the monitoring of performance of schools on licensure examinations. In 1990, partiallycomputerized licensure examinations started with the August physician licensure examinations using computerized answer sheets.  \nPRC developed the Test Questions Databank System in 1991. Partially-computerized licensure examinations started with the physician licensure examinations in August, followed by partiallycomputerized licensure examinations for midwives, accountants, medical technologists, and nurses. Enhanced partial computerization of licensure examinations was also implemented for marine deck and engine officers. During the same year, Executive Order No. 496 was signed by President Corazon C. Aquino instituting procedures and criteria for the selection and recommendation of nominees to vacant positions in the Professional Regulatory Boards. The first Commission Planning Conference was held.  \nIn 1992, Atty. Hermogenes P. Pobre assumed office as Commissioner.
