Gestión de la Administración Civil and Gestión de Sistemas e Informática (A2)
Open access is by an opposition followed by a selective course. The opposition has two compulsory, eliminatory exercises, each scored 0 to 50 with at least 25 needed. The first is a test of up to 100 questions in 90 minutes, with a wrong answer costing a third of a correct one. The second is a written practical case of 5 questions, chosen from two, with 150 minutes for Gestión de la Administración Civil and 180 minutes for Gestión de Sistemas e Informática. Those who pass are appointed trainee civil servants and take a selective course organised by the Instituto Nacional de Administración Pública. The details are in Annexes VII and IX of the call.
Internal promotion
Internal promotion uses concurso-oposición: an opposition followed by a merits phase. In the Auxiliar body, for example, the opposition is one test of up to 40 questions in 60 minutes, with a wrong answer costing a quarter of a correct one, scored 0 to 50 with at least 25 needed. Those who pass submit a certificate of requirements and merits within 20 working days.
Marking and results
For the C2 and C1 open-access bodies the single exercise is out of 100 and needs at least 25 in each part. The Comisión Permanente de Selección sets the minimum raw score for each part, which cannot be below 30 percent of the maximum raw score. Those proposed for appointment have 20 working days to submit the documents proving they meet the requirements.
Important dates
The December 2025 call was published in the BOE on 22 December 2025. Applications ran for 20 working days from the next day.
Fees
For open access in this call: 11.66 euros for C2, 15.57 euros for C1 and 23.33 euros for A2. Internal promotion pays half, and members of large families in the general category pay half of the applicable fee. Exemptions apply in the cases listed in the call, such as disability of 33 percent or more and certain unemployed applicants.
How to apply
Apply electronically with official form 790 through the Punto de Acceso General (the IPS service), and pay the fee online within the application period.
