‘5)    Assessment centre

A maximum of 4 times the number of successful candidates sought for each competition will be invited to this phase. If you have scored one of the highest overall marks in the translation test, you will be invited to attend the assessment centre (online or in-person) over one or several days in your languages 1, 2 and 3. Further details and instructions will be included in your invitation letter.

Unless instructed otherwise, you will have to upload scanned copies of your supporting documents to your EPSO account. Further details and instructions will be included in your invitation letter.

Eight general competencies and the field-related competencies required for each competition will be tested at the assessment centre through three tests.

The general competencies will be assessed by a general competency-based interview (in your Language 2). The oral presentation (in your Language 1) will be followed by a question and answer session (also in your Language 1) and will assess your general competencies, your field-related competencies as well as your knowledge of European Union law. Finally, a summary to be drafted in Language 1 of a text in Language 3 will assess your field-related Language 3 skills.

Please find the details in the following matrices:

Each general competency will be marked out of 10. There is no pass mark per competency. However, candidates must reach a pass mark of at least 40/80 in total for all competencies combined.
