El transfer competition in Castilla-La Mancha This is a key opportunity for teachers who want to change schools, secure a permanent position, or move closer to home. If you're a member of ANPE or regularly follow their news, you'll know that this is a process worth keeping a close eye on due to its deadlines, evaluation criteria, and the various stages involved.
This article explains in detail how the regional transfer competition In Castilla-La Mancha, what role does ANPE play, what do provisional and final awards mean, how and when can one claim or renounce participation, and how is everything processed electronically through the Education Portal and the Teaching Staff Portal of the Regional Government.
What is the transfer competition and how is it coordinated at the national and regional levels?
The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sport (formerly the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport) periodically convenes the state-level transfer competitionsThese competitions affect the entire country and all teaching staff. These nationwide competitions are held every two years, in accordance with the regulations governing the provision of teaching positions throughout the country.
In the intervening years, when there is no state competition, it is the autonomous communities that organize their own regional transfer competitionsIn the case of Castilla-La Mancha, regional competitions are held for the Teaching Corps, Secondary Education (EEMM) and the Inspection, with their own rules and deadlines, but always in coordination with the rest of the educational administrations.
Coordination between the Ministry and the regional governments is key to enabling teachers to participate in the various competitions without duplicating procedures. The idea is that, with a single administrative step, interested individuals can apply for positions in both at both the national and regional levelsso that the resolution of all these processes results in a single destination within the same teaching body.
This means that, from the joint resolution of the competitions, the teacher cannot obtain more than one permanent position within the same body. It is not possible to consolidate several destinations at the same timeThe system is designed so that, in the event of being awarded in several processes, only one definitive position will be fixed according to the priority rules established by the applicable regulations.
In practice, all this administrative machinery translates into specific regional calls for applications, such as those published by the Department of Education of Castilla-La Mancha for its general regional transfer competition, which ANPE closely monitors in order to inform teachers of each phase.
Call for applications for the regional transfer competition in Castilla-La Mancha
In Castilla-La Mancha, the Ministry of Education makes public the calls for applications for the general transfer competition These calls for applications are for the various teaching bodies, with particular relevance for the Primary School Teachers Corps and for Secondary Education and Inspection.

Therefore, teachers must pay attention to the deadlines and ensure they have a digital certificate, access credentials, or the required electronic identification system.

ANPE Castilla-La Mancha, through its provincial sections (such as ANPE Ciudad Real), usually publishes summaries and reminders of these deadlines, as well as support materials so that teachers do not miss any important dates and can correctly submit their participation in the regional transfer competition.
Key phases: provisional scale, claims and final scale
Once the application period has ended and the submitted documentation has been reviewed, the Education Administration publishes the provisional scale for the transfer competition And, in the case of Castilla-La Mancha, this also applies to the so-called "mini-competition" when it is held concurrently. This phase is essential, since the score obtained will determine the order on the lists and, consequently, the chances of achieving the desired position.

These notices remind teachers to review their final score and explain the next steps, such as possible internal review or preparing appeals if there is a justified disagreement.
In ANPE's communication regarding the final scale for Secondary Education and Inspection, it was also noted that start date of claims or appeals planned, which in a recent process started from March 4, 2025. Although the final scale is no longer subject to claim in the same terms as the provisional one, it can be challenged through the administrative or contentious-administrative channels that are foreseen, and ANPE usually guides the teaching staff on how to proceed if it detects serious errors.
Provisional awards in the regional transfer competition
After the scoring phase, the process moves towards the provisional allocation of destinationsThis is one of the most anticipated moments for teachers. In Castilla-La Mancha, the Regional Ministry of Education publishes these provisional assignments for the regional transfer competition, clearly indicating the deadlines for appealing or withdrawing from voluntary participation.
In one of the reference calls, the following was made public: provisional allocation of destinations corresponding to the regional transfer competition, at the regional level, for the Teaching Corps for the 2025/2026 academic year. That publication indicated that a claim could be filed against the provisional award within five working days, starting the day after publication.

During that same period, from March 17 to 23, 2026, teaching staff who wished to do so could renounce their voluntary participation in the transfer competition. This resignation is usually relevant for those who, due to personal or professional changes, decide not to continue with the process.
Both appeals against the provisional award and resignations are made exclusively through the online procedure authorized for this purpose by the Regional Ministry. As with the scoring system, the Administration has emphasized that documents submitted after the deadline or through channels other than the specific electronic form will not be accepted.

Regarding the withdrawal from voluntary participation in the regional transfer competition, the regulations state that it must also be submitted within the established deadline (for example, from March 17 to 23, 2026, both dates included, in one of the recent processes). This withdrawal is limited to the competition in question and it does not affect other procedures in which the teacher may be registered, but it is advisable to carefully assess its impact, since once the resignation is accepted, the possibility of obtaining a position in that competition is lost.
Throughout this process, ANPE Castilla-La Mancha offers timely information, clarifications, and individualized advice, especially during publication periods. provisional scales, provisional and final awardsThese are phases in which many doubts arise about how to claim, how to resign, or what steps to take if the resolution does not meet expectations.
