I am trying to translate the term "Idoneità concorsuale" or "Idoneità concorso pubblico" from Italian to American English. In Italy, in many competitions related to public administration, even if you do not win you can enter a kind of ranking list (valid 3 years by law) from which you can be called under certain circumstances and be hired.

for example:

Eligibility for the competition for Professional XXXX III level at the YYYY ZZZZ WWWW (YZW), Institute for MMM (3M), ranking list dated yyyy/mm/dd, Notice No. 368.35

where ranking list is "graduatoria" e Notice is "Bando" (del concorso).

    “Eligibility for competition rankings” may convey the concept.

    I doubt you'll find a perfect translation; English-speaking countries don't (to my knowledge) have such systems, so there's been no need to develop a term for it.

    This sounds similar to a "wait list"

    Or "standby list". "Alternate" (noun) is used for people who don't quite get onto school sports teams and similar, but never heard it in this context.

Briefly - in medicine you may be "provisionally registered". This allows you to complete a UK approved F1 programme, which is the first year of a two-year training programme to fully register you as a doctor. The provisional registration is only valid for a little over three years.

General Medical Council

There are similar arrangements for pharmacists:

General Pharmaceutical Council

I know of no similar British arrangements for general public administration or the civil service.
