The Career Service Professional and Sub-Professional examinations are general ability tests designed to measure verbal, analytical, numerical and clerical skills.
They include questions about the Philippine Constitution, government work ethics, peace and human rights issues and concepts, and environment management and protection.
The CSC neither holds any review class nor publishes and distributes any review material for the career service examinations.
Also, the CSC does not accredit and has not accredited any individual, group, or review center for the purpose of producing/publishing and/or distributing/marketing/selling any review material, or offering and holding review sessions/classes to prospective civil service examinees. Availing such product/service is solely the individual’s choice and accountability.
Passing the Career Service examination is a requirement for the conferment of either Career Service Professional Eligibility or Career Service Sub-Professional Eligibility.
The eligibility is necessary, together with other qualification standards such as education, experience, training, and other competency requirements, for permanent appointment to certain positions in the government career service that do not involve practice of profession.
The CSC-Cordillera will strictly implement its policy that “applicants with no prior online appointment shall not be entertained.” – Press release
