Can You Take the CSE-PPT Professional Exam?

Check if you meet the basic eligibility requirements

Age
Must be at least 18 years old at the time of filing the application.
Education
No degree is required merely to take the examination. Career Service Professional eligibility can support appointment to first- and second-level positions, but the applicant must separately meet the education and other qualification standards of the position.
Experience
No prior work experience is required to take the examination.
Background Check
Applicants must be of good moral character and not finally convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude, dishonest examination, drunkenness, or drug addiction. A pending administrative or criminal case does not by itself bar examination or eligibility, subject to the case outcome.
Additional Requirements
  • Filipino citizenship is required.
  • Must not have previously been found guilty of examination irregularities.
  • Follow the current regional filing instructions and pay the PHP 500.00 examination fee; CSC regions may use different online or in-person intake systems.
