Distribution of posts by specialty

The four advertised posts are distributed as follows:

• IT development or information systems or networks or maintenance: three posts (3).
• Electricity or industrial maintenance electricity: one post (1).

Candidates must clearly state the specialty under which they apply, since any diploma or certificate that does not match the required level or specialty will not be accepted.

Required diploma or certificate

Candidates must hold a technician diploma issued by vocational training institutions established under Decree No. 2.86.325 of 9 January 1987 laying down the general statute of vocational training institutions, as amended and supplemented, or one of the equivalent certificates whose list is set in accordance with Decree No. 1.12.90 of 30 April 2012.

A certificate of success alone is not taken into account, and no diploma or certificate that does not match the required level or specialty will be accepted. For diplomas that do not state the specialty or stream, an attestation issued by the relevant university institution clearly indicating the specialty or stream must be attached.

Eligibility conditions

The exam is open to candidates who meet the following conditions:

• Moroccan nationality.
• Enjoyment of national rights and possession of the intellectual and physical capacity to perform public service duties.
• Being at least 18 and no more than 40 years old on the date of the exam; the upper age limit may be extended by a period equal to the length of service valid or capable of being validated for retirement, without exceeding 45 years.
• Holding the diploma or certificate required for access to the grade advertised, as shown in the table above.

Candidates with the status of resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former soldier or former combatant, or with the status of person with a disability, must submit their applications through the administrations responsible for managing their affairs, accompanied by a certificate proving that status.

Reserved shares

A share of 25% of the advertised posts is reserved for persons with resistance fighter, ward of the nation or former soldier status, while a share of 7% is reserved for persons with disabilities holding a disability card, in accordance with Article 8 of Decree No. 2.07.2018 of 19 September 1997. These two reserved shares are independent of each other.

Application file and required documents

The application file must contain the following documents:

• An application to sit the recruitment exam, stating the candidate's full name, permanent address, signature, telephone number and email address.
• A copy of the diploma in the required specialty or one of the equivalent certificates, in accordance with the applicable regulatory provisions.
• A certificate specifying the specialty or stream for diplomas that do not include it, issued by the relevant university institution.
• A copy of the national identity card.
• A curriculum vitae with a recent photograph.
• Authorisation from the employing administration to sit the exam, for candidates who are civil servants, failing which they will be rejected or removed from the final list of successful candidates.
• A copy of the certificate proving resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former soldier or former combatant status, for those holding such status.
• A certificate of registration on the lists of persons with disabilities, for persons with disabilities.
• Any document proving that the candidate possesses the scientific skills and competencies required to perform the post concerned, where applicable.

In addition to the required documents, candidates definitively admitted in this exam are required to complete their files with the administrative documents legally required for appointment to the public service.

Application method and final deadline

Applications are submitted directly to the commune's registry office, in a large envelope bearing the candidate's full name and address and the specialty applied for, against a receipt. They may also be sent in the name of the council president by registered post to the following address: Toundout commune headquarters, Imghrane caidat, cercle and province of Ouarzazate.

Applications are accepted from the date of publication of the decision until Friday 20 November 2026 at 16:30, the final deadline for receiving and submitting applications, during public administration working hours. For applications received by post before the final list of participants is drawn up, the date of the postal stamp is taken into account.

Any file missing the required documents or submitted after the deadlines above will be excluded.

Tests and selection criteria

The exam includes a written test and an oral or practical test, or both, whose durations and coefficients are set as follows:

The written test covers a topic related to the duties or posts to be filled or to the competences of the territorial collectivity. In the oral or practical test, the panel discusses various topics and issues with the candidate or subjects them to a practical test in the required specialty, or both. The written test is marked out of 20.

Candidates who obtain an average of at least 12 out of 20 in the written test qualify to sit the oral test.

The panel draws up the list of successful candidates within the number of advertised posts, together with a waiting list, ranked by merit, among candidates who obtain an overall average of at least 10 out of 20.

If, when verifying participation conditions, it emerges that a candidate already declared successful does not meet one or more of the required conditions, they are replaced, in order and according to merit, by a candidate on the waiting list who meets those conditions.

Publication of lists and convocation

The list of candidates admitted to sit the exam and the announcement of results will be published on the public employment website, on the portal of the General Directorate of Territorial Collectivities, and on the two electronic portals of the relevant territorial collectivity and of the relevant prefecture or province, where available. This publication serves as a convocation for candidates to sit the exam.

Exam centre

The exam will take place at Chahid El Madani Chafik middle school in Toundout commune, Ouarzazate province, or at other institutions where necessary.
