EPSO

EU Recruitment Reform - EPSO's System from 2010. The structure and content of EU exams, including a pre-selection phase with verbal & numerical reasoning, phone-book-like EU tests, a written exam with an essay or a dossier task, followed by an oral exam have not changed much over the years. Under the leadership of the new director, with the Court of Auditors’ remarks in mind, EPSO launched a reform of EU exams through the “EPSO Development Plan”. EU Training is closely following the news about the upcoming changes, and we now share with you what you can expect from 2010 onwards.

As many of you already know and as discussed in last month’s Tips & Tricks article, EPSO is completely revamping its selection procedures, starting from 2010. We have been getting a growing number of questions from the Online EU Tests community regarding our plans to offer Europe’s best services for your EPSO exam preparation needs. Good news: our team has been working hard for months to get ready for the new system: from early 2010, we will gradually introduce new services and packages to help you prepare for those “strange” new components of the EU career exams.

As we hear from our users, there seem to be two approaches when deciding to participate in an EPSO competition. Some people decide that they would like to work for the EU institutions and select a domain based on what is available at the time. Another group has very specific ideas about what exactly they would like to do at an EU institution and hold out for the ideal exam to be published.
