MANILA, Philippines — The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has cautioned the public against review classes and reviewers for the Career Service Professional and Subprofessional Examination (CSE) being offered by any center or group, or individual.
CSC reiterated Monday that it does not conduct any review classes or disseminate any review materials for its CSE or any other civil service tests.
“May we advise again the public that the CSC neither holds any review classes nor publishes or distributes any review materials for the Career and any Civil Service examinations,” it said in a statement.
According to CSC, it has received information that reviewers and group reviews for CSEs were being offered and sold either through bookstores, social media, or online selling websites.
There were even claims that the reviewers were prepared by CSE top-notchers, it added.
CSC further said it does not accredit and has not accredited any review center for the purpose of offering and holding review classes to prospective career service examinees.
Purchasing of such products or services shall be at one’s own risk, it also said.
CSC moreover said it has not allowed any individual or entity to use its logo in review materials or review centers.
It then warned those using the CSC logo without express authority from the government for the purpose of earning profit or for any purpose that they may be subjected to criminal prosecution under applicable laws.
