ASSESSMENT CENTRE

On the EPSO website, here is the definition of the Assessment Centre:

The purpose of the Assessment Centre is to assess your general and/or specific competencies by means of different exercises, the content of which is validated by the selection board: a case study, a group exercise, an oral presentation, a structured interview, an interview in the field, an e-tray, etc. For detailed information about the tests and the test languages see the notice of competition. [...]

During each exercise, you will be observed/evaluated in a systematic way by at least 2 trained assessors. Your final results are based on the evaluation of each competency tested through the Assessment Centre exercises.

For organisational reasons, the case study may be organised in test centres in the Member States, separately from the other Assessment Centre tests, which will normally be held in Brussels or Luxembourg.

Since 2022, SFE will no longer offer training on the assessment centre.

Our external trainer Anne DRAIME has informed us that she no longer offers face-to-face training at the Assessment Centre.

You can still request private lessons from Anne DRAIME available on her website (click on her photo to access it).

ATTENTION: these private lessons are not paid for by SFE and this information is given for information purposes only.

SFE is currently trying to find another trainer for the assessment centre for the year 2023.

Anne DRAIME is a consultant in the European HR field. She's a good trainer and coach for preparing EU exams.

Remember : Anne Draime is not in partnership with ORSEU.

MCQ REASONING TESTS - CBT

What are the Computer Based Tests?

Imported from Anglo-Saxon countries, computer reasoning tests allow candidates to be assessed on their skills in a stressful situation without taking knowledge into account.

Computer tests are multiple choice questions where the candidate must answer very quickly by selecting the answer (s) that they deem right. The challenges of these tests are the management of time, stress and the ability to find answers logically, thanks to fast reading (verbal reasoning), visual logic (abstract reasoning), reading numerical information and mathematics ( numerical reasoning). The CAST and Competition will be choosing the candidates with the best results.

It is therefore essential to train for the test of computer reasoning MCQs because it is with training that you will progress. You can see what the EPSO exam software looks like on this official link.

Here is the detail of the training offered by SFE on multiple choice reasoning tests:

INTERNAL COMPETITION

What is a Internal Competition?

In 2010, the Staff Regulations of the European institutions provided for a new type of internal competition in order to promote agents through a new system called a "talent screener" set up by EPSO. This is an online questionnaire to be completed carefully on the personal EPSO account of the candidate "specialist" in one or more subjects (etc.). It is therefore strongly recommended to be precise in the answers provided while demonstrating a perfect understanding of the questions asked (sometimes redundant, we could compare it to verbal reasoning). The answers will then be read, verified and marked with a scale by the members of the EPSO jury which will define the candidates selected for the second test of the internal competition: the oral test.

Some candidates (according to the competition notice) will have to take the computer based tests (or CBT which means = verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning) as the first test.

NB: even if you cannot participate in an internal competition, whatever the reason, the training offered is ideal for teaching you to prepare for an oral test, to know the jury's expectations and to perfect your presentation and your motivations.

Since 2022, SFE will no longer offer training on the internal competition.

Our external trainer Anne DRAIME has informed us that she no longer offers face-to-face training at the internal competition.

You can still request private lessons from Anne DRAIME available on her website (click on her photo to access it).
