Public sector exams · competitive exam
No written paper, no quiz: everything rests on a 25-minute interview, including 5 minutes of presentation. A mark under 5 out of 20 eliminates, and the 2027 CDG 13 registrations closed on 8 October 2026.
The real format of the exam, and what actually decides it.
The territorial nurse competition consists of a single paper: a 25-minute admission interview, including at most 5 minutes of presentation on your training and professional project. No written paper, no quiz. The jury then asks questions, with no subject to handle and no preparation time provided for by the text.
According to the CDG 13 brochure, the paper is marked out of 20, without coefficient: below 5, the mark is eliminatory, and 10 is needed to be admitted. The jury does not reassess your care technique; it tests your territorial knowledge and your reactions in situations. The dates vary by management centre, and the CDG 13's 2027 session closed on 8 October 2026.
The format and weight of each paper, without the noise around it.
A presentation on your training and project, then questions on your motivation and your aptitude for the duties of the job framework.
A plan announced and held, a line balanced between training and project. A presentation that is too short or cut off at 5 minutes is penalised.
Local authorities, rights and obligations of civil servants, social policies, professional simulations, health and social current affairs.
A 5-minute presentation on your background and the training followed, then an exchange. Reserved for category B territorial nurses with five years of public service.
The dates that matter, with their status.
Deadline for submitting it to the CDG 13, only if you request an adjustment to the paper.
2027 registrations have been closed since 8 October 2026 (signed file submitted by 23:59 at the latest): this week of orals concerns only registered candidates. It is announced as provisional.
CDG 22, 38, 40, 41, 51, 61, 85 and 976 also organise the 2027 session, with their own windows. The national portal announces first papers from 18 January 2027, in disagreement with CDG 13.
No opening date is announced. Watch the website of your regional management centre.
Dates checked on October 28, 2026. Any date that hasn’t been published is flagged as such.
The obstacles that cost you points, not the clichés.
No document and no preparation time. The jury expects a plan announced and held, and a presentation that is too short or cut off at 5 minutes is penalised.
The diploma already attests medical knowledge, which the jury does not reassess. What is marked: local authorities, the rights and obligations of civil servants, social policies and simulations.
A single paper, no written paper to compensate, and an eliminatory mark under 5 out of 20. Everything rests on a single speaking performance.
The profession is regulated: the state diploma, or a recognised equivalent qualification, is required, with no possible exemption. An incomplete or late file is rejected, and the CDG 13 window closed on 8 October 2026.
A course goes in. Ready-made materials come out. You study.
A two-part plan, training then project, timed out loud. Without notes on the day, you need to have rehearsed it to hold the time.
Three blocks: local authorities, rights and obligations, social policies. Add the health and social current affairs of recent months, which the jury may use.
Have questions put to you without preparation, answer in one to two minutes with an example. A simulation is handled like a concrete case.
Study materials, not a promise you’ll pass.
Import your public law, status and social policy courses as PDF, Word or photos: you get sheets by theme, to review before the exchange.
Build the map of your presentation: training on one side, project on the other. It helps you hold the announced plan during the 5 minutes, without notes.
The paper has no quiz, but questions generated from your course reveal what you still confuse: a local authority's competence, a statutory obligation, a social scheme.
Ask the chat your question: it reads only your files, and gives you the rule to quote to the jury.
Summry does not replace a mock oral: it does not listen to you, does not mark your 5-minute presentation and does not tell you whether your project holds up before a jury. That out-loud rehearsal is worked on alone or in pairs.
The questions we get asked most often about Territorial nurse competition.
One only: a 25-minute admission interview, including at most 5 minutes of presentation on your training and professional project. The jury then asks questions, with no subject to handle and no preparation time provided for by the text. No written paper, no quiz. The paper is marked out of 20, without coefficient; a mark below 5 is eliminatory, and 10 is needed to be admitted (CDG 13 brochure).
You need the state nursing diploma, or a recognised equivalent qualification, or an authorisation to practise for EU and EEA nationals, plus the general conditions of the civil service. As the profession is regulated, no diploma exemption is possible. An internal route is reserved for category B territorial nurses with five years of public service.
For CDG 13, which organises in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, no: pre-registrations ran from 25 August to 30 September 2026 and the signed file had to be submitted by 8 October 2026 at 23:59. The oral is announced from 5 to 9 April 2027. The other management centres have their own windows, and the 2028 session is not published as of 28 October 2026: check your region's centre calendar.
CDG 13 announces 54 places for the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. No national total is published: each management centre sets its places in its opening decree, and the other organisers publish their own figures in their brochure or notice. No 2027 pass rate is available to date.
You are registered on a national list of aptitude, valid for two years and renewable twice for one year. This registration is not a recruitment: you then apply to municipalities, departments and public establishments. The indicative gross starting salary is €1,944.50 per month, excluding residence allowance (CDG 13 brochure of 8 April 2026).
