Procedures, criteria and promotion issues
The following are frequently heard in corridors: « Why does that name figure but not that name? » The rules of access and the path of the paintings – sometimes difficult to grasp for newcomers – are nevertheless well marked to ensure fairness. A training framework recently explained that the procedure remains generally unknown, especially during the first presentation.
Age, merit and institutional decisions
The entry in the promotion table is based on two criteria: seniority in the rank and recognition of merit, supplemented by the specific quotas for each corps. The proposals are always validated by the Minister of the Interior. Advancement does not automate – it is based on a comprehensive evaluation (case analysis, individual interview and reporting advice) at central boards and boards.
- For 2025, the official decision was endorsed at the November meetings, validated in council, and then published in the Official Journal (between the4andWorld Music Festival).
- Practical level: to register in Table 2026, a dedicated HRD note will appear at the end of February 2025, accessible to all via its unit.
Good to know
I recommend that you check your administrative record regularly to avoid any surprises, especially if you think you have missed a promotion.
Anecdote recently experienced: a colleague thought he had « missed » his passage, but had simply not requested an update of his file. It would therefore be wise to check its administrative follow-up, this can avoid a bad surprise (a situation which is quite common among newcomers).
