What this law requires
Candidates must submit a professional experience recognition dossier using the standard template established by the administration, containing: candidate identification, sworn declaration, initial and continuing training, professional history, professional experience gained, motivations, and description of two significant professional actions (maximum 1-2 typed pages per action).
The minister responsible for social affairs or competent authority must issue an arrêté opening the professional examination, specifying the number of positions to fill, examination location, application submission deadline, and dossier submission deadline.
The professional examination must consist of a 30-minute oral interview with a jury, with candidate's initial presentation limited to maximum 10 minutes, evaluating knowledge of social policies, professional experience gains, and motivations/aptitudes in social services.
Only the jury interview is scored (0-20 scale); the professional experience recognition dossier is not scored. Candidates must obtain a minimum score of 10 to be declared admitted; the specific passing threshold is determined by the jury but cannot be below 10.
The jury must annually publish its evaluation grid on the French Ministry of Social Affairs website prior to conducting examinations.
