Stop:
The suitability check for the functions of Project Leader, Analyst, Chief Operating Officer and Operating System Programmer includes a single test, consisting of an oral test to allow the jury to assess whether the qualifications acquired by the applicant in the automated processing of information, its initial or continuing training course or its professional experience, correspond to those required to perform the function for which the applicant applies.
At least one month before the date for this trial, the candidate sends a report describing his qualifications to the jury; This report is accompanied by all evidence of the reality of the elements declared by the candidate in his report and a notice from the supervisor describing the duties performed by the candidate.
During the oral examination, the jury may question the candidate on his or her course and any questions to ensure that the candidate has the common knowledge, skills and abilities required to perform the job matching the qualification. These knowledge, skills and abilities are determined by reference to the knowledge program listed in the annex.
The duration of the test is fixed to:
- thirty minutes for the suitability verification examination for the functions of Project Leader and Analyst;
- twenty minutes for the fitness examination for operating system chief and programmer functions.
The test is rated from 0 to 20. Only candidates with a minimum rating of 10 out of 20 can obtain the qualification for which they apply.
The aptitude check for the functions of programmer and programmer chief includes a written test and an oral test.
For the function of programmer chief, the written test consists of a critical analysis of a program written in an advanced language chosen by the candidate on a list fixed by order of the Minister of Defence (duration: five hours; coefficient 5). The oral test consists of an interrogation on the program determined in the annex (duration: 30 minutes); coefficient 3).
For the programmer function, the written test consists of setting the algorithm (in the form of a flowchart) corresponding to the solution of a simple problem and writing the corresponding requested program sequences. The programming shall be carried out in an advanced language chosen by the candidate on a list set by order of the Minister of Defence (duration: five hours; coefficient 4). The oral test consists of an interrogation on the program determined in the annex (duration: 30 minutes); coefficient 2).
Each of the tests is rated from 0 to 20. Can only be allowed to undergo the oral examination of admission the candidates who, after the jury's deliberation, obtain a score of at least 10 out of 20 in the written test.
No one can receive the qualification if he does not get a score at least 10 out of 20 at the oral admission test.
The composition of the panel of professional examinations held for the above-mentioned functions in articles 1 and 2 shall be at least three members, including at least one category official A or assimilated specialized in the field of information processing.
The Director of Military and Civilian Personnel in the Ministry of Defence is responsible for the execution of this Order, which will be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
