Question & AnswerQ&A (CESB Resolution NO. 483)
The CESB is the governing body of the Career Executive Service created under Article IV, Part III of Presidential Decree No. 1, mandated to promulgate rules, standards, and procedures on selection, classification, compensation, and career development of CES members.
A person must meet the managerial experience and other requirements and pass such examinations prescribed by the CESB to be included in the register of career executive eligibles.
The four stages are: 1) Management Aptitude Test Battery (MATB); 2) Assessment Center; 3) Interview by the Board; and 4) Validation of Performance on-the-job.
The AC is designed as a series of simulation exercises to measure an examinee's managerial capability and potential.
An examinee who fails AC for the first time may retake it once more at their own expense and upon recommendation of DAP. If they fail the second time, they must retake the MATB before retaking AC again.
An applicant is allowed to take the Assessment Center only three (3) times after which they shall be disqualified from continuing the CES Eligibility examination process.
Applicants who failed AC once before the effectivity of the revised rules can retake AC a second time under the old policy subject to DAP recommendation. If they fail again, they must retake MATB and be governed under the new rules thereafter.
The Board shall shoulder the cost of the first Assessment Center for applicants enumerated under item 5.1 of Section 5, Article IV of the Revised Rules on CES Eligibility.
Yes, any Assessment Center taken after a MATB retake is considered a retake and the cost must be shouldered by the applicant.
