Course Description

This purpose of this course is to prepare students for the Foreign Service Written Examination and Assessment Procedure. Entry into the Foreign Service is a multistage process that can take up to 12 months. The focus of this course is to pass the initial threshold of the written exam that consists of the following components: Job Knowledge, English Expression, Biographic Information Questionnaire, and Written Essay (graded pass/fail). In addition, since Foreign Service Candidates are requested to select a career track on the day of the written exam, an overview of the work of a Foreign Service Officer will also be provided.

The Foreign Service Exam is presently being offered once a year. An exam date has not been established for 2005. Registration for the Foreign Service Exam can be done on line at www.careers.state.gov. (click on Foreign Service Officer and Register for exam)
