Starting today there will be no minimum height to enter the Civil Guard: these are the new requirements
- New opposition in the National Police: date and scale for which it is called
- Aid of up to 7,000 euros for candidates: how and when to apply for the scholarships
To join the Civil Guard you had to have an ESO degree, have a driving license and exceed the established minimum height, among other requirements.. Well, one of these conditions for taking the exams is a thing of the past: the height limit for admission to training centers for incorporation into the Scale of Corporals and Guards has already been eliminated, according to the BOE..
The Official State Gazette (BOE) published this Thursday the 19th the rule that generally eliminates the requirement that left out men and women who did not reach the required minimum height. A measure that, according to Europa Press, aims to “continue advancing in equal opportunities between men and women” and with the purpose of promoting the “attraction of talent.”.
This is how the requirements are
In this way, the new regulation to access Civil Guard positions, which has already come into force, does not include that men must measure more than 1.60 meters and women, more than 1.55 meters.. The requirement that prevented people taller than 2.03 meters from entering the body has also been eliminated. Height limits are no longer a condition for working as an agent.
This change in requirements affects the scale of corporals and guards of the Civil Guard. So that the requirements regarding height, as already occurred in the case of the National Police, may be maintained “for the occupation of certain destinations or for access to specialization education.”.
ℹ️ Today, October 19, a new provision has come into force, through which the height limit for entry into training educational centers for incorporation into the Scale of Corporals and Guards of the @guardiacivil is eliminated.
