Candidates for the Technical Architects Corps in Service of the Public Treasury have had the option since May 11, 2026 to carry out part of the selection process in a decentralized manner. The Under-Secretariat has enabled this option through a Resolution published in the BOE on May 14, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-10449), complementing the original call of December 23, 2025.
The change is relevant for all enrolled candidates, both through open access and internal promotion: it is no longer mandatory to travel to the central venue for all tests. However, decentralization has organizational implications that candidates must actively manage.
What does this regulation establish?
The Resolution of May 11, 2026 enables the option of carrying out part of the selection process in a decentralized manner for admission to the Technical Architects Corps in Service of the Public Treasury. This measure affects the two access routes contemplated in the original call:
- Open access: external candidates applying for the first time for a position in the corps.
- Internal promotion: civil servants already belonging to the Administration who aspire to advance to the corps.
Decentralization allows certain tests to be held at venues other than the central venue, without altering the content or conditions of the selection process established in the call of December 23, 2025. The regulation does not replace the original call: it complements it by adding this organizational flexibility.
The courts are responsible for issuing specific instructions on which tests are conducted in a decentralized manner, at which venues and on which dates. Candidates must follow these instructions carefully, as the logistical organization of the process depends on them.
Economic and operational impact
Decentralization does not imply changes in participation fees or economic conditions of the selection process. The impact is fundamentally operational and logistical:
- Reduction in travel costs: candidates residing outside the central venue can save on trips, accommodation and allowances associated with taking the tests.
- Facilitation of work-life balance: the possibility of taking tests at venues closer to home reduces the labor and personal impact of the selection process.
- Organizational implications for the courts: selection bodies must coordinate the logistics of multiple venues, which may affect the timelines for communicating summons and results.
- Obligation of active monitoring by candidates: as there are different venues, candidates must pay attention to specific instructions on the location and date of each test, as an error in the venue could result in exclusion from the process.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates enrolled through open access in the call of December 23, 2025 for the Technical Architects Corps in Service of the Public Treasury.
- Candidates enrolled through internal promotion in the same call.
- Selection courts of the selection process, which must organize and coordinate decentralized venues.
- Exam preparers and academies that advise candidates for this corps, who must update their information on the development of the process.
Practical example
A candidate enrolled through open access who resides in Seville and whose original call provided for all tests to be held in Madrid can, as of this Resolution, choose to take part of those tests at a venue enabled in Andalusia, if the court's instructions determine so.
This saves them, for example, traveling to Madrid for an initial elimination test, with the resulting savings in transportation and accommodation. However, they must consult the court's specific instructions to confirm which specific tests are conducted in a decentralized manner and at which venue, as not all phases of the process need to be available at all venues.
In the case of a candidate through internal promotion assigned to a city other than the central venue, decentralization also reduces the impact on their usual working day during the selection process.
What should candidates do now?
- Verify your enrollment status in the original call of December 23, 2025 to confirm that you are correctly enrolled, whether through open access or internal promotion.
- Consult the court's instructions on which tests are conducted in a decentralized manner, at which venues and on which dates. This information is crucial for planning your participation.
- Confirm your assigned venue before each test, especially if you choose the decentralized option. An error in the venue could result in exclusion from the process.
- Plan logistics in advance: although decentralization reduces travel, it is necessary to know exactly the venue and time of each test to avoid unforeseen circumstances.
- Follow official communications from the Ministry of Finance and the selection court, as any changes in venues or dates will be published through official channels.
