A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) board exam review, for the Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination (CPALE), costs anywhere from ₱1,600 for one online subject to ₱16,500 for a full face-to-face review, based on the prices CPA review centers publish themselves. Most centers don't post prices at all, so this post uses only the three I could find on a provider's own page, as of November 2026.

After reading this, you can compare CPA review formats by price and know what to ask before you pay.

Where these prices come from

Every price below is from the provider's own website, checked on November 9, 2026. I left out prices from third-party "best review center" lists, since those are often estimates. Big names like ReSA, CPAR, and Pinnacle didn't have a rate card I could open, so they're not here. Ask them for a written quote.

Review fees change every cycle and often come with promos. Treat these as a starting point, not a final price.

Team PRTC

Team PRTC's enrollment page is open for the May 2027 batch. Face-to-face classes in Manila start on January 5, 2027, and face-to-face enrollees also get free access to the online review.

The fee tables on that page show discounts by category:

CategoryFace-to-face (Manila)Purely online
Regular₱16,500₱9,200
Undergraduate₱13,300₱8,200
Former reviewee, other center₱14,500₱6,500

Magna cum laude₱8,500₱1,600

Conditional examinee₱3,500Not listed

One caution: the fee graphics on the May 2027 page mention the May and October 2025 batches. They may not have been updated, so confirm the current price before paying.

CEVAS

CEVAS posts its prices on its CPALE page. The schedule shown is for the October 2026 exam: weekend classes from August 29 to October 4, 2026, Saturdays and Sundays, 9 AM to 1 PM and 2 to 6 PM.

  • Group class: ₱7,950 promo, ₱9,950 regular.
  • VIP one-on-one: ₱15,950 (originally ₱18,950). 30 hours, plus unlimited sit-ins in the group class.
  • VIP Twin (one instructor, two students): ₱23,925 promo (originally ₱26,925).

Listed discounts: ₱3,000 off if you enroll from November 8 to 11, 2026 (first 15 students only), ₱1,000 off for honor students, a PWD discount, and ₱1,000 off for a perfect score on their initial test.

CEVAS's group review is short: 11 class days. It works as a structured pass through the subjects, not as your whole review.

EAA

EAA's CPALE 2027 Review is a self-paced online course for ₱3,500, one-time payment, with 365 days of access. The page lists 15 modules, 100+ lessons, 20 timed quizzes and drills, and a 72-item final readiness assessment covering all six CPALE subjects.

There's no live teacher on a fixed schedule. It's the cheapest structured option here, and the most flexible if you're working.

What else you'll pay

The review fee isn't the whole cost:

  • PRC exam fee: ₱900 for the complete exam, ₱450 for a conditioned retake (PRC fees).
  • Transport, food, or rent for face-to-face classes, often for 4 to 5 months.
  • Books and extra mock exams, if not included.

Before you pay, ask these

  1. Is the price for my exam date? Some pages still show last cycle's schedule.
  2. What's included? Materials, recorded lectures, mock exams, final coaching.
  3. Is it refundable? Many review fees aren't.
  4. If I've failed twice, does this count as my refresher? After two failed complete exams, RA 9298 requires 24 units of exam subjects, and PRC's page says the refresher must come from a school accredited by the Board of Accountancy. A review center class may not count. Check before you enroll.

Do you need a review center at all?

No law requires one for your first CPA attempt. The CPA passing rate was 37.1% in October 2026 (board exam passing rates), so many people want structure. But a review center doesn't do the practice for you. I weigh both sides in can you pass the CPA board exam with self-review?, and the general version is in review center vs self-review.

My verdict

If you can study alone, the self-paced or per-subject online options give you structure for a fraction of the price. If you need someone else to set your schedule, compare a full review center's quote against Team PRTC's published ₱16,500. Whatever you pick, plan for months of your own practice on top of the classes.
