  • Baccalaureate, superior technician or equivalent
  • Secondary, technical or equivalent education
  • Primary education/undetermined

This is the level of qualification (not the specific qualification) required to participate in the selection process. The levels of qualification correspond to the different Groups / Subgroups (case of civil servants) or to the different professional categories (case of labour staff) in which personnel are classified in the service of the Public Administrations.

Allows multiple selection.

Note of clarification: there are selective processes in which, in order to participate, it is necessary to be in possession of a specific qualification. For example, to aspire to the State Bar Corps, it is necessary to have a university degree in Law. But in many other selective processes, only a certain level of qualification is required (for example, university degree, diplomacy or equivalent and, in that case, all people who have a university degree can participate, regardless of which). In the event that the call requires a degree level, people can participate in any selective process in which a degree level equal to or lower than the degree level they have at their disposal is required.

This selection field only filters by titration levels. If you want to filter by specific titles, you must use the text field above the search results.
