The
law has changed and it is great news now that regardless of college degree or

ago, they required at least Bachelor’s Degree for professional level and has at

website whenever there is a new announcement. There are deadlines for the
submission of applications since there are quotas for slots of examiners and
application is first-come-first-served basis.
If
you want to take the CS-PPT exam and become professional eligible, you need to
file your application form at the Civil Service Commission Regional Office or
Field Office near you. It is usually located at the Capitol’s Office or your
Region’s Government Center. I suggest you download the application form in

needed there.

day. Once you have applied, the CSC staff will issue you your official receipt
