A total of 26,915 people are competing this weekend throughout Spain for one of the 2,520 places for the Civil Guard corporals and guards scale offered this year. This public job offer represents the largest increase since 2011.
In the Canary Islands, a total of 869 people take part, that is, 3.23%, distributed between both provinces, 517 in the province of Las Palmas and 352 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, of which a total of 240 are women.
Of the national total of applicants, 8,531 are women, that is, 31.70%, the highest historical figure. Regarding the level of training, a total of 6,178 university graduates stand out. By age range, half of the applicants are between 20 and 30 years old, leaving the average age of applicants at 28 years old.
The opposition phase is divided into four tests: knowledge, physical, personal interview and medical examination. For the knowledge exam, the Civil Guard has established 19 headquarters, located in 13 Autonomous Communities: Alicante, Baeza, Cádiz, Calatayud, Gijón, Granada, Gran Canaria, León, Logroño, Madrid, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca, Mérida, Murcia , Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Seville, Toledo, Valencia and Vigo.
Previously, the first phase, the competition, has been carried out, in which the merits that each opponent adds to the minimum requirements required to be able to participate in these selective tests have been evaluated. Being between 18 and 40 years old, with Spanish nationality, having no criminal record or having at least a secondary education diploma are some of the necessary requirements.
The test carried out this Saturday and Sunday consists of carrying out a series of tests on general theoretical knowledge, languages, spelling, psychotechnical knowledge and grammar.
Competitors who obtain sufficient scores in this knowledge test will be called for the physical tests: a coordination and agility circuit – new this year -, an endurance test (2 kilometer distance race), a strength test consisting of performing a certain number of push-ups depending on sex and a 50-meter swimming test.
Those who pass these last tests will undergo a personal interview to evaluate their mental suitability for the job they are applying for and finally a medical examination to assess their state of health and physical fitness.
Applicants who complete the competition will join the Academy of Guards in Baeza (Jaén) and the College of Young Guards ‘Duque de Ahumada’ in Valdemoro (Madrid), where they will receive their professional training during an academic year.
