Subject of Examination
To be considered for appointment to this title, you must pass a training and experience test. The training and experience test utilizes an online questionnaire to evaluate your minimum qualifications and training and experience as it relates to your education, including coursework in computer science, and experience in information technology. YOUR COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO REPORT COMPLETED COURSEWORK. Your responses on the questionnaire will be the only way to evaluate your minimum qualifications and will be the only basis for rating your training and experience. After submitting your online application, you must continue to the online questionnaire to complete the process. You cannot access the test prior to applying for the examination.
You must complete all parts of the examination. Failure to complete the questionnaire will result in disqualification from the examination. Ambiguity, vagueness or omissions will not be decided in your favor.
The information you provide on the application and questionnaire is subject to verification. You may be required to furnish written verification of the education, experience, certification, or licensure claimed. False statements may result in removal from the eligible list or termination of employment.
If you pass, your seniority credit(s), if any, will be included in the computation of your final score. Your final score on the eligible list will be determined after adding any wartime Veterans' credits.
Credit for Seniority: Seniority will be given due weight in the evaluation of training and experience.
Retest policy: Qualified candidates may file as frequently as every six months, but a new online application and online training and experience test submission are required each time.
Selective Certification of the Eligible List: All candidates who meet the minimum qualifications and pass the examination will have their names included on the general eligible list.
Agencies will have two options to fill vacancies from the eligible list. One option will be a certification of the general eligible list.
Or, if it is determined that specific education and experience beyond the minimum qualifications are required for a position, agencies can utilize a selective certification of the eligible list. A selective certification filters the general eligible list by the specific education and experience required for the position based upon eligible candidates' education and experience as indicated on a supplemental online skills inventory questionnaire. A selective certification will contain only the names of eligible candidates who meet the specialized requirements.
Candidates can complete an online skills inventory questionnaire to report their relevant education and experience in order to qualify for positions filled through selective certification. The online skills inventory questionnaire is NOT SCORED and is subject to verification by the hiring agency. Names of candidates who pass the examination, but do not complete the online skills inventory questionnaire, will appear only on the general eligible list and will not be considered for positions filled through the selective certification process.
Candidates who complete the application and online training and experience examination can access the online skills inventory questionnaire.
Selective Certification Update Policy: Qualified candidates may submit an update to their online skills inventory questionnaire as frequently as every six months.
Applicants are required to have a Personal NY.gov account and keep their email address up to date. The Department of Civil Service and other state agencies will communicate with you through email correspondence. This may include the notification of your test arrangements, examination results, and canvassing you for interest in appointment.
