The online tests require a third-party external contractor to take control of your computer while you take the test. Among other things, this prevents candidates from browsing the internet or running applications outside the scope of the tests.

In order to enable online selection tests to run on a corporate computer — including those made available to staff of EPSO’s institutional clients (e.g. the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and others) — multiple security controls would have to be disabled, relaxed, or changed by an authorised administrator.

Corporate stakeholders must ensure that risks to their digital environment are minimised, which is why candidates usually cannot use their corporate PC for remotely proctored tests.
