No. You never have to pay to participate in our competitions.
Applying for and taking part in EPSO selection procedures is free of charge.

EPSO does not charge any registration or participation fees at any stage of the competition process.

You may come across private companies offering paid preparation courses, training materials or coaching for EPSO competitions. These companies operate independently and are not affiliated with or endorsed by EPSO or the EU institutions.
If you see messages, websites or social media posts suggesting that you must pay a fee to apply for an EPSO competition, please treat them with caution.
