What's coming up in February 2024 | EPSO rundown

EU Training

EPSO competition news, CAST CBT dates and internal competitions news for February.

Will EPSO see its shadow and prolong this pause on testing? Or will testing start up again sooner than we could hope? These are questions on the minds of many EPSO candidates as we head into February 2024.

The Ombudsman recently announced her decision on these continued remote testing issues, we have yet to see if this has any impact on EPSO's decision-making.

There are still plenty of competitions and calls for interest in the EU Institutions. There are many vacancies just waiting for the right candidate. You can check out our comprehensive list of EU jobs available here.

Let's take a look at what's happening with EU career exams:
