How To Claim Civil Service Certificate of Eligibility (CoE)

Career Service Professional and Sub-Professional Eligibilities

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) released the results of the May 22, 2011 Career Service Exam - Paper and Pencil Test (CSE-PPT) (see this link) earlier this month. On the last week of July, the CSC issued an advisory with information on how passers can claim the Certificate of Eligibility (CoE).

You may follow the following procedure:

• Coordinate with the CSC Regional Office, which has jurisdiction over the test center where you took the examination, to inquire on the specific dates of the availability of your CoE.
• Bring a valid ID and one (1) passport size photo, the same photo that was attached on the Application Form and Picture-Seat Plan bearing the name of the examinee (name tag). Note that the CSC will not accept a picture with computer-generated name tag.

A complete listing and contact information of the different CSC Regional Offices have been provided here. The CSC said those who failed the examination may print a copy of their Report of Rating (RoR) from this page.

Grant of Eligibility Under Special Laws and CSC Issuances

The career service examination is not the be-all and end-all of acquiring civil service eligibility. Do you know that the CSC also grants eligibilities other than the Career Service Professional and Sub-Professional eligibilities? You can acquire a civil service eligibility even without taking the Career Service Examination. The CSC for some time now has been granting eight (8) different eligibilities under special laws to qualified individuals. You may be qualified for the grant of any of these eligibilities:

Bar/Board Eligibility (RA1080)


Barangay Health Worker Eligibility (RA7883)

Barangay Nutrition Scholar Eligibility (PD1569)

Barangay Official Eligibility (RA 7160/CSC Resolution No. 933666/943635)
