Eligibility conditions

Candidates must hold Moroccan nationality and meet the legal age and diploma conditions set out in the official notice.

Age condition for the third-grade technician cadre

For the third-grade technician cadre, the candidate must be at least 18 years old and must not exceed 40 years of age as at 1 January of the current year. 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 however exceeding 45 years. The age condition is not enforceable against civil servants who are not subject to it.

The required diploma

Candidates must hold the required diploma in the specialty mentioned above, namely business management. For the third-grade technician cadre, the relevant diploma is the specialised technician diploma issued by one of the established vocational training institutions, or one of the recognised equivalent diplomas, or one of the diplomas determined in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force.

Where the diploma was issued by a foreign university, a copy of the equivalence decision published in the Official Bulletin must be produced, accompanied where applicable by the certificates and diplomas provided for in that equivalence decision. Where the diploma was issued by a private university or a Moroccan private higher education institution, a copy of the table published in the Official Bulletin setting the equivalence of the diploma is required. This equivalence rule applies only to the situations expressly covered by the announcement.

Reserved posts and the categories concerned

The legal provisions in force on the reservation of budgetary posts apply to candidates who are former resistance members and members of the family of the Army of Liberation, former military personnel and former combatants, as well as to candidates in a situation of disability, where the conditions requiring their application are met.

The application file

Candidates must build a complete file containing the following documents:

• A handwritten letter of application to the president of the establishment concerned, bearing the candidate's name, address, telephone number and email address, signed by hand, and stating the cadre and the specialty.
• A curriculum vitae (CV) bearing the candidate's photograph.
• A copy of the electronic national identity card.
• A copy of the diploma required in the specialty mentioned above; a certificate of success is not accepted.
• A copy of the equivalence decision published in the Official Bulletin, accompanied where applicable by the certificates and diplomas, for a diploma issued by a foreign university.
• A copy of the table published in the Official Bulletin setting the equivalence of the diploma, for a diploma issued by a private university or a Moroccan private higher education institution.
• A copy of the baccalaureate or of a technician diploma, for the specialised third-grade technician cadre at issue.
• An authorisation to sit the competition for candidates who are civil servants.
• An authorisation from the Head of Government for candidates who have exceeded the recruitment age limit.
• A copy of the document certifying the disability situation, issued by the services of the competent government authority, for the candidates concerned.
• A copy of the document certifying that the candidate belongs to the former resistance and the family of the Army of Liberation, former military personnel or former combatants.

These documents fall into two groups: those required of every candidate and those conditional on a particular situation. The Head of Government authorisation is requested only from those who have exceeded the age limit, the authorisation to sit the competition only from civil servants, and the disability document only from the candidates concerned.

Steps for applying online

Anyone wishing to sit this competition must apply obligatorily and exclusively through the administration's electronic platform, before the deadline. The practical sequence can be summarised as follows:

1. Access the organising administration's electronic application platform.
2. Create an application file and enter personal and academic details accurately.
3. Select the correct cadre, namely third-grade technician, together with the required specialty, business management, and the establishment concerned.
4. Upload all required documents in a legible electronic format.
5. Check the accuracy of the data and declarations before final submission.
6. Submit the application before 22 November 2026, as files received after the deadline are rejected.

Candidates covered by the reserved posts, namely former resistance members and members of the family of the Army of Liberation, former military personnel and former combatants, must in addition to applying online send their files to the competent services responsible for them.

Tests and selection rules

The competition for the third-grade technician cadre comprises three distinct stages, each with its own duration and coefficient:

• General written test: covering the various economic, social, political and administrative aspects at national and international level, and which must be written in Arabic. Duration: three (3) hours; coefficient: 04.
• Special written test: covering the specialty that is the subject of the competition, namely business management. Duration: three (3) hours; coefficient: 06.
• Oral test: a discussion with the competition panel on general culture, the candidate's specialty and the sector. Duration: at least 15 minutes; coefficient: 03.

Admission to the oral test is granted to candidates whose applications were accepted, who sat both written tests and obtained the required average, in accordance with the conditions set under the regulatory provisions in force for each cadre and for the grade to be filled.

Publication of the lists

The lists of candidates admitted to the written and oral tests are published on the public employment website and on the administration's website. This publication constitutes an official invitation to sit the tests, so candidates must check these sites regularly rather than waiting for an individual invitation.

What leads to rejection of an application

Applications are rejected if they lack any of the documents listed above, if they do not meet the required conditions, if they do not contain accurate declarations, data or information, or if they arrive after the fixed deadline. Care in preparing the file is therefore as important as preparation for the tests.

Practical preparation checklist

In addition to the official conditions set out above, candidates may follow this organisation when preparing for the competition:

• Review the fundamental concepts of business management: financial and accounting management, business organisation, commercial management and strategic management.
• Practise writing texts in Arabic on economic, social and administrative topics, since the general test must be written in Arabic.
• Prepare for an oral test covering general culture, the specialty and the sector, practising clear and concise presentation of ideas.
• Prepare legible digital copies of all documents before applications open, to avoid last-minute technical problems.
• Check compliance with the age condition for the third-grade technician, namely between 18 and 40 years at most as at 1 January of the current year, taking account of the permitted extensions.
• Keep the competition code C 44570/26 and the name of the establishment concerned to hand when completing the form.

Recruitment into the civil service remains subject to success in the competition and the final ranking of successful candidates; since the advertised post is a single one, solid preparation for the two written tests, which carry the highest coefficients, is decisive.
