BCLTE 2022 Schedule, Coverage

The Civil Service Commission, in cooperation with the Department of Finance-Bureau of Local Government Finance (DOF-BLGF), conducts the Basic Competency on Local Treasury Examination (BCLTE) to further professionalize and assess the competencies of personnel in the local treasury service. It aims to establish a Register of Eligibles (ROE) from which certification and appointment to Local Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer positions, and to positions under the Financial Services in the civil service, shall be made, provided the eligibles meet the qualifications and other requirements of the position. The BCLTE was first administered in December 2015 and is open to incumbents of positions at the DOF-BLGF and to private individuals interested in local treasury service.

Resulting Civil Service Eligibility

The civil service eligibility resulting from passing the BCLTE shall be called Local Treasury Eligibility. It is second-level eligibility which is ONLY appropriate for appointment to Local Treasurer and Assistant Local Treasurer positions, and to positions under the Financial Services that do not require the practice of the profession and are not covered by Bar/Board or Special Laws.
