EPSO is dedicated to ensuring equal opportunities and access to its selection procedures for all candidates. To this end it continuously monitors its testing and selection processes to ensure this principle is upheld. EPSO provides the opportunity to all candidates to indicate whether they have any specific needs due to a disability or a medical condition, which would require reasonable accommodations (i.e., adjustments) at any stage of the sitting the tests. This information is clearly communicated from the outset on EPSO’s website, in the application form and in each individual Notice of Competition (for open competitions) or call for expression of interest (for CAST selections).

EPSO has developed promotional materials to explain the reasonable accommodation process and inform candidates on how to request adjustments in selection tests. For more information on EPSO’s approach to equality and diversity, please visit the EPSO equal opportunities webpage. To watch the video on how to request special adjustments in selection tests, visit the EPSO webpage dedicated to equality. 
Furthermore, a step-by-step flyer on the reasonable accommodations’ procedure is also available (it can be provided in Braille, upon request).

This overview presents some possible accommodations which candidates can request for selection tests. It will be updated, as relevant.

For each type of accommodation, you will find below:

• A description of the accommodation (‘what?’).
• The stage of the selection process when this accommodation may be granted (‘when?’).
• Online testing platform or locations where this accommodation may be granted, either in the EU or worldwide (‘where?’).
• Who is responsible for providing the accommodation (‘who?’).

This list is indicative and non-exhaustive. It aims to illustrate the possible accommodations and functionalities of IT equipment and is not contractual. EPSO will do its best to provide candidates with the necessary reasonable accommodations.
