Passing the FOE grants a position specific credential called Fire Officer Eligibility, separate from the general Career Service Professional or Subprofessional eligibility.

How to check your FOE result 2026

- Search the list for your examinee number and name, or use the region specific posting if the CSC has broken the list down by regional office.

- If you passed, coordinate with your CSC Regional Office about the availability of your Certification of Eligibility.
- For any concern about your examinee number or exam record, contact your CSC Regional Office directly rather than a third party website.
Caution: the CSC has publicly warned examinees against unofficial websites and social media pages that are not affiliated with the Commission, including pages that make unauthorized use of the CSC name or logo. Treat any result you see off csc.gov.ph as unconfirmed until you verify it there.
Passing rating and eligibility explained
To pass the FOE, an examinee needs a general rating of at least 80.00. Passing does not just mean a pass or fail tag on a list, it converts into a formal credential, Fire Officer Eligibility, which functions as your legal qualification to be appointed to a Fire Officer 1 position within the BFP.
| If you passed the FOE | If you did not pass |
|---|---|
| Receive Fire Officer Eligibility | No eligibility is issued for this batch |
| Can generate detailed rating via OCSERGS | Can still generate rating via OCSERGS to review performance |
| Eligible to apply for Fire Officer 1 vacancies at BFP | May prepare to retake the exam in a future CSC testing cycle |
| Certificate of Eligibility available roughly 30 days after posting | No Certificate of Eligibility for this attempt |
What happens after you pass the FOE
Once your name appears on the official list of passers, keep these next steps in mind.
- Coordinate with your CSC Regional Office to confirm availability of your Certification of Eligibility (CoE). This is typically ready around 30 days after the results are posted.
- You must claim the CoE in person. Representatives are not allowed to claim it on your behalf.
- Watch for BFP vacancy announcements for the Fire Officer 1 position, since your Fire Officer Eligibility is what makes you qualified to apply.
- Keep a copy of your OCSERGS generated rating for your personal records, alongside your CoE.
