Admission criteria are essential to select candidates who are qualified to be effective teachers and those who are not. However, there are strengths and weaknesses in the criteria utilized to select prospective teachers for education programs. The primary objective of this study is to assess the validity, reliability, and credibility of the Moroccan EFL secondary teacher recruitment test. Data was collected between March and July 2024 using a questionnaire among EFL teacher trainees in three Moroccan regional centers for education and training professions. This study's findings show that many 2023 English language teacher applicants were dissatisfied with the entrance oral tests they were required to take. More than a third of the participants confirmed that they disagreed with the educational sciences exam's procedure. A number of respondents confirmed that they did not agree that the exam adequately assessed the candidate's English language proficiency. Some respondents expressed disapproval with the way the English language didactics and the oral exam procedures were administered. The content analysis of the findings and the official regulations and circulars unveil the need for standardizing the examinations for better credibility, reliability and validity.
