Civil Service Testing

Information About Testing

The State Civil Service Commission (SCSC) recently enacted a variety of updates to the civil service application and hiring process.

Civil service AND non-civil service job postings will move to the Commonwealth's state employment website at www.employment.pa.gov. On this site, job seekers can view and apply for all current civil service and non-civil service employment opportunities.

Please refer to the Applying to a Vacancy Guide for further information on how to apply for civil service positions.

Please view the Applying to an Exam Guide for information on scheduling a civil service test.
