Economic and operational impact
Obtaining the Administrative Manager professional title enables the exercise of a regulated activity with exclusive access to certain procedures before the Administration. For candidates, the operational impact of this resolution is immediate:
- Urgent review of admission status: Any error in the documentation submitted in July may have generated a provisional exclusion. Detecting it now and claiming within the deadline is the only way to participate in the November exam.
- Travel planning: The three venues are fixed. Candidates who do not reside in Madrid, Palma de Mallorca or Las Palmas de Gran Canaria must organize their travel in advance for November 28.
- Preparation of permitted materials: Only a calculator can be brought (if authorized by the Examination Board at the time). Mobile phones and computing devices are expressly prohibited.
There is no information in the published data about exam fees or costs associated with this specific call.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who submitted applications to the July 2026 aptitude test call to obtain the Administrative Manager professional title.
- Candidates who appear in the provisional lists as excluded and need to claim their admission.
- Admitted candidates who must confirm their venue and plan their attendance on November 28, 2026.
- Law firms, advisory firms and administrative management offices that have employees or collaborators who submitted applications to this call.
Practical example
A candidate who submitted their application in July 2026 from Barcelona checks the provisional lists published on October 15 and finds that they appear as excluded due to a defect in the documentation provided.
They have until the end of the 15 business days deadline from October 15, 2026 to submit a claim to the General Council of Official Colleges of Administrative Managers. If the claim is granted, they will appear in the final lists that will be published at www.consejogestores.org before November 28.
Since the closest venue to Barcelona is Madrid, they will need to organize their travel to be present on November 28 at 10:00 a.m. On exam day, they can only bring a calculator if the Examination Board expressly authorizes it; mobile phone and computer are prohibited.
What should candidates do now?
- Check the provisional lists immediately: Access www.consejogestores.org and verify if you appear as admitted or excluded.
- Claim if you are excluded: Submit your claim to the General Council of Official Colleges of Administrative Managers within 15 business days from October 15, 2026. Do not wait until the last day.
- Confirm your assigned venue: The venues are Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Organize your travel in advance if you do not reside in any of these cities.
- Check the final lists: They will be published at www.consejogestores.org before November 28. Confirm your final admission before traveling.
- Prepare permitted materials: Do not bring a mobile phone or computing devices to the exam. Bring a calculator only if the Examination Board authorizes it. Check the specific instructions from the Examination Board before exam day.
