Good morning,
I checked the Eu blog for having info about the competitions above. It seems that the test periods where the shortlisted candidate had their CBT is finished. The competition however is still going on. Do anyone have some news about future planning about this competion? Only shortlisted candidates will be advised on their Epso account?
Best regards
Gaetano Bertozzi
Dear Gaetano,
Dear Gaetano,
You might find one of our latest articles of interest EPSO Reforms The CAST Exams - What You Need To Know.
According to EPSO's forward planning calendar the new CAST competitions are due to be released in either September or October 2016.
Regarding last year's CAST competition, the results should be advised via your EPSO account. After the CBT test successful candidates are invited to the EPSO Assessment Centre. Those that are successful during this round make it onto the Reserve List.
I hope this answers you question. Please let me know if you need further clarification.
Kind regards,
David @ EU Training
Dear David,
Dear David,
In the notice of competition of the Cast regarding the Agency Epso/cast/P/1-4/2015 (4 type of cast) there was written that only selected candidates could have a chance to sit in a CBT. After this an interview is due in fron of a commision.
- This interview is taken by Epso or by Agency directly?
- In the forum of Eu-career-blog there were specified the period of the potential cbt test. They had been taken during three phases. From now on how it works? it's not very clear in that forum. I don't understand if they will publish again the period of the CBT where the shortlisted candidates will receive an invitation or if only the candidates selected will be contacted. Above all I would like to know if Agency will continue to select from those application or if at the moment the competiton is in stand by.
Thank you
Best regards

Dear Gaetano,
Dear Gaetano,
1. most likely Agency because EPSO is usually only in charge of the pre-selection tests for CAST exams (but final information is to be confirmed when the Notice of Competition comes out)
2. According to the FAQ for this exam, the Agency will screen applicants from the database, and if a certain number has been shortlisted, they are invited to sit the CBT, and those who pass will be invited to the interview by the Agency. See details at http://europa.eu/epso/doc/faq-castagencies2015_en.pdf
