EPSO Training for Accessing EU Careers

Our preparatory course will be structured in two days of in-class lessons where students will be introduced to all steps of the competition to become an EU official. We will provide guidance on how to better approach the various selection steps including computer-based testing and the assessment stage in Brussels.

This competition takes place every year and selects EU officials and functionaries. The EPSO exam is new and all permanent staff of the EU institutions are recruited through this procedure.

With the EPSO Competition it is possible to enter all EU institutions, such as the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Court of Auditors (ECA), the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Parliament (EP), the Committee of the Regions (CoR) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).
