Steps for the online application

Those wishing to sit the competition must apply obligatorily through the dedicated electronic platform. The application, and the sending of the required requests and documents, must be done exclusively through that platform, within the fixed deadlines.

1. Read the official announcement and the competition details, and check that the cadre and specialty match.
2. Prepare all the required documents, including the handwritten signed application and the CV with photograph.
3. Check the accuracy of the information and data in the file, since files containing inaccurate statements or data are rejected.
4. Create an account or log in to the electronic application platform and enter the required data.
5. Send the requests and documents through the platform before the deadline expires.
6. Keep proof of the electronic submission of the file for any later check.

Dates and deadlines

Applications submitted online are accepted until 22 November 2026, with the competition scheduled for 29 November 2026. Files missing any of the documents listed above, files that do not meet the required conditions, files containing inaccurate statements, data or information, and files received after the fixed deadline are rejected.

Publication of the lists of admitted candidates

The lists of candidates admitted to sit the written and oral tests will be published on the public employment website and on the administration's website. This publication constitutes an official invitation to sit these tests, which means that the candidates concerned must follow these lists on the websites indicated and not wait for an individual invitation.

Practical preparation advice

Beyond the official conditions, candidates can adopt a preparation strategy based on the nature of the announced tests. The general written test, written in Arabic, calls for practice in analysing economic, social, political and administrative aspects, with attention to the national and international context. The special written test relates directly to accounting and finance: it is useful to review the fundamental concepts and applied exercises in this field, while practising how to structure answers and manage time.

For the oral test, candidates should prepare to discuss general culture topics and sector-related questions, in addition to their specialty, taking care to present clearly and to respect the allotted time. It is also advisable to prepare copies of the required documents in advance, to check that the diploma matches the required specialty, and to verify the personal data in the handwritten application and the CV.

Finally, candidates should follow the deadlines carefully: applications are limited to online submission through the platform, and no other method of submission is accepted. Preparing the file in advance and respecting the deadlines reduce the risk of formal rejection, which affects incomplete or late files.
