No, you don’t need a certificate or a diploma to prove the knowledge of your languages. You will sit the tests in the 2 languages chosen by you in the application form. 

1. Prima della scadenza del termine per la presentazione delle candidature, è possibile caricare i documenti giustificativi tramite il CV andando a "Il mio account" e quindi "Il mio CV" (non dimenticare di inviare la candidatura perché altrimenti i documenti non vengono trasferiti alla candidatura).
    
2. Dopo la scadenza del termine per la presentazione delle candidature e fino al termine previsto per l'invio dei documenti giustificativi, questi ultimi devono essere caricati direttamente nelle candidature cliccando sulle voci esistenti e allegando i documenti tramite la graffetta (non vanno caricati nel CV poiché i dati aggiunti al CV dopo la chiusura delle candidature non vengono trasferiti alla candidatura). 

Le istruzioni sono disponibili all'indirizzo Come candidarsi a un concorso - sintesi.

Per ulteriori informazioni, consulta la pagina: Quali documenti giustificativi devo fornire?

No, una volta scaduto il termine per l'invio dei documenti indicato nel bando di concorso non sarà possibile caricare alcun documento nell'atto di candidatura.

L'EPSO non può accettare documenti inviati tramite il modulo di contatto o via e-mail.

Tuttavia, come indicato nel bando di concorso, in qualsiasi fase della procedura di selezione ai candidati potrebbe venire chiesto di fornire ulteriori informazioni o documenti. Questo significa che, se necessario, la commissione giudicatrice può contattarli tramite il portale unico dei candidati durante la fase dei controlli di ammissibilità per chiedere di presentare eventuali documenti giustificativi mancanti, compreso il documento di identità.
