A Medical Technology (MTLE) board exam review, for the Medical Technologists Licensure Examination, costs about ₱8,999 to ₱18,000 at the three review centers that publish their prices. Online reviews are the cheapest. Face-to-face prices depend on the branch, with Davao and Bicol at the top. This post compares their published fees for the March 2027 exam, as of November 2026.

After reading this, you can compare MedTech review centers by price, format, and start date, and know what to check before paying.

Where these prices come from

Every price below is from the review center's own website, checked on November 9, 2026. I didn't use third-party lists, since their numbers are often estimates or out of date. If your preferred center isn't here, it didn't post a price I could find.

Fees change every cycle. Treat these as a starting point and confirm before paying.

All batches run until the March 2027 exam. The online review includes free shipping of handouts and final coaching. Legend says its fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, and paying a down payment disqualifies you from discounts.

ACTS Review Center

ACTS lists these prices for the 2027 MTLE review, labeled as 28th anniversary discounted prices:

The review manual and materials are included. You reserve a slot with a 50% or full payment, and paid fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. ACTS says Latin honor graduates may get up to 100% off, with a ₱3,500 materials fee for summa and magna cum laude graduates.

ACTS is the only one here with batches already listed for August 2027.

Pioneer Review Center

Pioneer lists ₱18,000 for both face-to-face and online review. Its page is headed "August 2026 Board Review," but the classes listed start from September to December 2026, so check which exam they're for.

As of November 9, 2026, all face-to-face sections were closed. One online section, starting November 24, 2026, was still open.

Pioneer publishes the clearest discount rules of the three:

  • Group of ten: ₱500 off each.
  • Former Pioneer reviewee: 10% off.
  • Latin honors: summa cum laude pays a minimum of ₱3,000, magna ₱8,000, and cum laude ₱13,000.

What else you'll pay

  • PRC exam fee: ₱900 (PRC fees).
  • Rent and transport for face-to-face classes. Published batches run about 3 to 6 months.

Before you pay, ask these

  1. Is this batch for my exam date? Several pages mix last cycle's labels with this cycle's dates.
  2. What's included? Handouts, recorded lectures, mock exams, final coaching.
  3. What if I can't continue? All three centers say paid fees aren't refundable.
  4. If you've failed three times: RA 5527 requires a 12-month refresher course at an accredited school, or 12 months of training in an accredited lab. A regular review batch isn't that. Ask what the center offers for repeaters.

Do you need a review center at all?

No law requires one for your first MTLE attempt. The MTLE passing rate was 74.6% in August 2026 (board exam passing rates). I weigh the options in can you pass the MTLE with self-review?, and the general comparison is in review center vs self-review.

My verdict

On published prices, Legend's online review at ₱8,999 is the cheapest by a wide margin. If you want face-to-face classes, ACTS Manila at ₱15,000 is the cheapest of the Manila options here. Whichever you pick, the review batches start 3 to 6 months before the exam, so decide early.
