Additional Comments *For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which
means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for
which they apply.
At a future date, it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment
status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be
afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While
serving permanently in an NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which
they are qualified.
Your required educational credentials must have been awarded by an educational institution accredited by a
regional, national, or specialized agency recognized as an accrediting agency by the United States (U.S.)
Department of Education/Secretary of Education. If awarded by an institution outside of the U.S. and its
territories, you must provide independent verification of equivalency. A list of companies that provide these
services (fees must be paid to the company you choose) can be found at:
