The CSC Examination, Recruitment, and Placement Office advised examinees to communicate with the CSC Regional Office concerned on the schedule, requirements, and procedure in claiming their Certificate of Eligibility (COE).
The Career Service Professional Eligibility qualifies individuals for permanent appointment to both first level (clerical) and second level (technical) positions within the career service which do not involve practice of profession and are not covered by the bar, board, and other laws.
On the other hand, the Career Service Sub-Professional Eligibility shall be appropriate to first level positions only.
The CSC reminds that eligibility alone does not guarantee appointment in government service as education, experience, training, and other competency requirements of the positions must also be met.
