The Deputación rectifies the test for the C2 control and surveillance officer

The Provincial Council of Pontevedra has rectified the second exercise of the selection process for a control and surveillance officer position, subgroup C2, included in the public employment offer (OEP) 2024, 2025, and 2026, after noticing an error in the fourth base of the specific rules. The correction is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) no. 216, Monday, November 9, 2026, via presidential resolution of file 2026044862. The test changes from 60 to 40 questions and the completion time is reduced from 60 to 40 minutes.

The original call had been approved by Presidential Resolution no. RP2026004523 and published in BOPPO no. 107, June 8, 2026, along with the rest of the processes to fill vacant positions in the provincial institution’s civil service staff under code CL2026M. The new resolution, issued by the deputy by virtue of the delegated powers of the Presidency regarding personnel matters, is limited to reproducing the current text and the corrected text: it does not modify the number of positions, the syllabus, the designated tribunal, nor the calendar of the opposition phase.

What changes in the fourth base

The rectified text exclusively affects the format of the second exercise, which is mandatory and eliminatory, consisting of a written test with four alternative answers proposed by the tribunal and referring to the content of the program:

• Where it said “test of 60 questions,” it must now say “test of 40 questions.”
• Where it said “will be 60 minutes,” it must now say “will be 40 minutes.”
• The nature of the exercise (mandatory and eliminatory) and the alternative response system maintain exactly the same wording.

The document is electronically signed and carries the secure verification code Q4MABK8W1H9MRXRQ, accessible through the electronic office of the Council of Pontevedra.

One C2 position with 25 admitted applicants

The convened position falls within the Special Administration scale, special services subscale, special duties class, and its processing has already accumulated several publications in the provincial gazette. BOPPO no. 156, August 17, 2026, contained the provisional list of admitted and excluded persons; the final list arrived in BOPPO no. 199, October 15, 2026.

According to that last announcement:

• There are 25 applicants admitted to the process.
• There is a single excluded person, Bousoño Cerviño, Carlos, due to “payment not made” for the exam fees.
• One of the admitted persons does not prove knowledge of the Galician language at the required level, according to the footnote of the list.

The ninth base of the call provides for the refund of exam fees to persons who are definitively excluded, through the “Refund of undue payments” form on the electronic office.

Tribunal constituted and first exercise this Tuesday

The qualifying tribunal has been designated since the month of October. The Presidency of the body corresponds to Luís Feijóo García, legal advisor in electronic administration, transparency, and data protection, with Marta Freire Quintas as substitute; the secretariat is assumed by Silvia Labraña González, head of the selective processes section, with Estefanía Pérez Calvo as substitute. The members include Juan Cardelle Janeiro, head of the control and surveillance unit; María del Carmen Campos Puente, head of the Occupational Risk Prevention Service; and José María Cancela Carral, professor at the Faculty of Education and Sports Sciences of the University of Vigo, among other principals and substitutes.

The established calendar sets the constitution of the tribunal for November 2, 2026, at 9:00 hours, at the Pazo Provincial of the Deputación, on Montero Ríos Avenue in Pontevedra, and the first exercise for November 10, 2026, at 9:00 hours, at the Galician Center for Sports Technification, at Padre Fernando Olmedo Street, number 1, in Pontevedra.

The rectification is therefore published one day before the celebration of that first exercise and before the date of the second is convened, which means that the correction arrives in time to be applied in practice: the registered persons will not have to face a test of 60 questions, but rather one of 40. For the candidates, this implies a shorter test and a management time adjusted to that reduction, while the provincial institution thus closes a discrepancy between the bases published in June and the effective development of the process.
