With the new Administrative Code of 1987 (EO 292), the Commission is constitutionally mandated to promote morale, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressiveness, and courtesy in the Civil Service.

The Two Types of Civil Service Exam? Taking the Professional level qualifies you for both first-level and second-level government positions. This gives you a wide range of options from clerical work to technical, managerial positions in the government. Keep in mind that examinees for the Professional level must be graduates of a four-year college course.

On the other hand, the Subprofessional level only allows you to take jobs in first-level government positions such as clerical, administrative work. Unlike the Professional level, examinees who have less than four years of college education can take the test under this category.
