The Civil Service Commission (CSC) warns the public against spurious announcements circulating online from a review class that “they can guarantee 90% passing rate.”
The Commission also clarified that it does not endorse or accredit any review center offering classes to examinees and reiterated that review centers claiming to have been accredited are not in any way connected with CSC, adding that availing of review classes will be at one’s own risk as it is not a guarantee of passing the CS exams.

The CSC has received reports about individuals pretending to be employees/officials of the CSC or from a certain “Public Complaints Center”, who contact government employees to inform them that an administrative case has been filed against them.
