Teaching Civil Service Exams 2026: Deadlines and Key Dates for Ministry Positions

Key data

If you are preparing for civil service exams for teaching positions at centers managed by the Ministerio de Educación, Formación Profesional y Deportes, this resolution is the one that sets the dates determining your participation. The Resolución de 26 de marzo de 2026 de la Subsecretaría specifies the application submission deadlines and the start dates of the tests for the processes called in December 2024 and December 2025.

This is not a new call: it is the resolution that activates the operational deadlines of two already published calls. Without this resolution, candidates have no specific dates to act on. Now they do.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates three distinct aspects within the selection processes for teaching bodies under the Ministerio de Educación, Formación Profesional y Deportes:

Additionally, the resolution corrects errors detected in the Resolución de 29 de diciembre de 2025. Candidates participating in the most recent call must check whether any of those corrections affect their participation conditions, requirements, or required documentation.

The exact deadline dates and test start dates are published in the official text of BOE-A-2026-7222. Any submission outside the set deadline results in automatic exclusion from the selection process.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the impact is not strictly economic but operational and planning-related. The resolution activates a countdown with direct consequences:

• Closed and non-extendable application deadline: once the deadlines are published in the BOE, there is no margin for late submissions. Exclusion is automatic.
• Documentation preparation: candidates must gather and verify all required documentation before the deadline closes, which involves administrative procedures that may take several days.
• Error corrections in the 2025 call: those participating in the December 2025 call must review the published corrections, as they may modify requirements, scoring scales, or access conditions.
• Two simultaneous active calls: candidates participating in both calls (2024 and 2025) must manage deadlines and documentation in parallel, with potentially different dates for each process.

Who is affected?

This resolution directly affects:

• Candidates for entry into teaching bodies for positions at centers under the territorial management of the Ministerio de Educación, Formación Profesional y Deportes.
• Career civil servant teachers seeking to access higher subgroup A1 bodies through the processes called in December 2024 and December 2025.
• Career civil servants in teaching bodies wishing to acquire new specialties through the procedure established in the same calls.
• Exam preparation coaches and academies that must update their calendars and inform their students of the official test start dates.

It does not affect candidates sitting for positions managed by autonomous communities, which have their own independent calls and deadlines.

Practical example

A career civil servant teacher who wants to acquire a new specialty covered by the call of 29 December 2025 must take two immediate steps:

1. Consult BOE-A-2026-7222 to identify the exact closing date of the application deadline set by this resolution.
2. Review the error corrections included in this same resolution regarding the call of 29 December 2025, to verify that the requirements or required documentation have not changed from what they had prepared.

If that civil servant submits their application one day after the official deadline, they are excluded from the process with no possibility of ordinary appeal on those grounds. The deadline is a formal requirement and cannot be remedied.

What should candidates do now?

1. Consult BOE-A-2026-7222 immediately to identify the exact opening and closing dates of the application submission period for your process (entry, A1 access, or new specialty).
2. Review the error corrections included in this resolution if you are participating in the call of 29 December 2025. Verify that no correction affects your requirements, documentation, or participation conditions.
3. Prepare and verify the required documentation well in advance of the deadline. Do not leave submission to the last day: registration systems may become overloaded and a late submission results in automatic exclusion.
4. Note the test start date to organize your final preparation. This resolution also sets when the exams begin, allowing you to adjust your study schedule accordingly.
5. If you are participating in both calls (2024 and 2025), manage the deadlines separately: they may have different dates and differentiated documentation requirements.
