Certificate of Eligibility is one of the qualifications standards for a position in government. This certification can be claimed by Civil Service Pro and Sub-Pro passers. To check if you passed the exam, see How to Check Civil Service Exam Rating Online (CSE-PPT) 2022. Certification of Eligibility for Career Service Professional is also known as Second Level Eligibility, while Career Service Sub-Professional is First Level Eligibility. There are two types of Certificate of Eligibility (CoE):
(1) temporary CoE - is free of charge given to all civil service exam passers. Temporary Certificate of Eligibility is printed on CSC letterhead and is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance and cannot be authenticated.
(2) regular CoE - is NOT FREE of charge. It costs 100 Pesos. Regular Certificate of Eligibility is printed on security paper, which can be authenticated and has no expiration. It's usually preferred by government agencies.
Please note that there is no deadline for claiming your Certificate of Eligibility. You may claim it even if the exam was years ago.

According to Civil Service Commission — The successful examinees at the professional level may be appointed to "both first level (clerical) and second level (technical) positions in the government, including executive/managerial positions in the second level, provided they also meet the education, experience, training, and other requirements of the positions.
Meanwhile, those who passed the exam at the SubProfesssional level — may be appointed only to first-level positions in the government.
Both the Professional and SubProfessional eligibilities are appropriate to positions that do not involve the practice of a profession and are not covered by special laws.
Here are the benefits of being a civil service passer. If you are currently employed as a job order/contractual/casual/special project work in a Government establishment, there is a higher chance to get a permanent JOB or become a regular employee in that office and thus gaining promising privileges and benefits like salary increases, employee leaves, bonuses, gifts and incentives, and promotions.
