How To Get Certification Of Eligibility For Civil Service Pro & Sub-Pro Passers
CSC CERTIFICATE – In this article, you will know the prerequisites for acquiring your Certificate of Eligibility.
The Certificate of Eligibility serves as a prerequisite for government positions, obtainable by those who have passed the Civil Service Professional (CSE-PPT) and Sub-Professional exams.
The Certificate of Eligibility for Career Service Professional is also recognized as the Second Level Eligibility, while Career Service Sub-Professional equates to First Level Eligibility. There are two categories of Certificate of Eligibility (CoE):
1. Temporary CoE: This version is provided free of charge to all civil service exam takers. The Temporary Certificate of Eligibility is printed on CSC letterhead, valid for 2 years from the issuance date, and cannot be authenticated.
2. Regular CoE: Unlike the temporary version, the Regular Certificate of Eligibility comes at a cost of 100 Pesos. It is printed on security paper, can be authenticated, and has no expiration date. Government agencies often prefer this version.
It’s essential to note that there is no specific timeframe for claiming your Certificate of Eligibility; you can do so even if the exam was taken years ago.
Here are the requirements for claiming your Certificate of Eligibility
