Entrance tests

The entrance tests are divided into two phases:

  • 1 phase: It is composed of the competition where the general, academic and military merits are valued through the corresponding accreditation of each opponent; the opposition test which consists of the assessment of your skills to determine which fundamental specialty best suits your psychological profile; and finally, after passing the previous two, one personal interview.
  • 2 phase: A medical examination and physical fitness tests, which are relatively simple if we compare them with the tests that opponents have to pass to other security forces such as the police or the civil guard.
