Three eliminatory exercises and final grade

The competitive examination consists of three exercises, all of which are eliminatory:

• Second exercise: resolution of a theoretical-practical case proposed by the Tribunal, in a maximum of three hours, with a public reading and a minimum of 5 points.
• Third exercise: aptitude test consisting of up to 100 questions (60 minutes; each correct answer adds 1 point and each error subtracts 0.33) and an evaluation of personal competencies, graded as “fit” (apto/a) or “unfit” (no apto/a).

The final grade will be the arithmetic mean of the first two exercises, and it will be necessary to obtain at least five points in each and a grade of “fit” in the third. The order of appearance will begin with candidates whose first surname starts with the letter “B”, in accordance with the Resolution of the Secretary of State for Public Function of June 29, 2026. Between the end of one exercise and the start of the next, between 72 hours and 45 calendar days must elapse.

The Qualifying Tribunal will be composed of seven members assisted by a secretary, who has a voice but no vote, and will have the same number of alternates. Its members must not have prepared candidates in the five years prior to the publication of the call.

Once the process is completed, an employment pool will be established with those who pass at least the first exercise, governed by the general bases published in BOCCE number 6527, of July 4, 2025. Successful candidates will have 20 business days to submit documentation to the General Directorate of Human Resources (Palacio Autonómico, Plaza de África, s/n, 51001 Ceuta) and must take office within 15 calendar days from the publication of their appointment.
