6 IT technician positions at UAL 2026: requirements, fee and deadlines

Key data

Graduates in Computer Engineering or equivalent have a 20-calendar-day window to submit their candidacy for 6 career civil servant positions at the University of Almería. The announcement, published on June 10, 2026 through the Resolution of June 3, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-12576), executes the Public Employment Offers of 2024 and 2026 and is governed by the general free access system.

The required qualification is set by the judgment of the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia no. 3408/2025, which establishes that Computer Engineering or equivalent qualification is required. This nuance is relevant for candidates with related qualifications who want to assess their eligibility before registering.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces selective tests to fill 6 career civil servant positions in the Technical Scale of Systems Management and IT at the University of Almería, classified in Subgroup A2 of the civil service.

The key aspects of the process are as follows:

The absence of position reserves for people with disabilities in this specific announcement is because such reserve was already assigned to other scales within the same OPE, not due to exclusion of this group from access.

Economic and operational impact

For the candidate, the direct cost of participating in the process is 45 euros as a registration fee. This amount is reduced to zero for three groups with recognized exemption:

• People with recognized disabilities
• Victims of terrorism
• Members of large families

From an operational perspective, the application is exclusively electronic, which means having a digital certificate or equivalent identification system before the 20-calendar-day deadline expires. There is no possibility of submitting a paper application.

For the University of Almería, the announcement represents the execution of commitments made in two successive Public Employment Offers (2024 and 2026), strengthening the technical IT and systems staff with career civil servants at A2 level.

Who does it affect?

• Graduates in Computer Engineering (degree, bachelor's or recognized equivalent) who wish to access university civil service.
• Graduates with related qualifications who want to verify if their qualification is considered equivalent according to TSJA judgment no. 3408/2025.
• People with disabilities, victims of terrorism and members of large families who may benefit from the exemption of the 45-euro fee.
• Candidates who participated in previous processes of this same scale at UAL and want to update their situation.
• Public employment advisors and exam preparation specialists who manage candidates in the Andalusian university sector.

Practical example

A graduate in Computer Engineering from the University of Granada, resident in Almería, decides to apply for the 6 announced positions. Their process would be as follows:

1. Verification of requirements: Checks that their qualification fits the requirement set by TSJA judgment no. 3408/2025 (Computer Engineering or equivalent). Being a graduate in Computer Engineering, they meet the requirement.
2. Registration deadline: They have 20 calendar days from the publication of the announcement in the BOJA to complete and send their application electronically.
3. Fee payment: Pays 45 euros. As they do not belong to any of the exempt groups (disability, victims of terrorism, large family), they cannot claim exemption.
4. Test preparation: They know that tests will not begin before September 1, 2026, which gives them a minimum preparation margin from the publication date.
5. Free access: They compete for the 6 positions on equal terms with other candidates, with no disability reserve quota in this specific announcement.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify the qualification: Confirm that you have a qualification in Computer Engineering or recognized equivalent, according to TSJA judgment no. 3408/2025, before starting registration.
2. Monitor publication in the BOJA: The 20-calendar-day deadline starts counting from publication in the Official Bulletin of the Andalusian Regional Government, not from the BOE. Identifying that exact date is critical to not miss the deadline.
3. Prepare electronic identification: The application is exclusively electronic. Have a digital certificate, electronic ID or Cl@ve active before the deadline opens.
4. Check fee exemption: If you belong to the group of people with disabilities, victims of terrorism or large families, gather the supporting documentation to request the exemption of the 45 euros.
5. Plan your preparation: Tests will not begin before September 1, 2026. Use that time horizon to organize the study of the curriculum for the Technical Scale of Systems Management and IT.
6. Follow official UAL communications: Any changes to dates, lists of admitted candidates or exam announcements will be published through the official channels of the University of Almería.
