What are the main instructions to apply for an EPSO selection procedure – open competition?

You will find the link to apply on the EU Careers website once the registration period opens.
Leave yourself plenty of time to complete your application, as it requires considerable work. The responsibility to validate your application before the deadline is entirely yours.
Before validating your application, check the content of the application tab by tab as once the deadline is over your application can no longer be modified.
You can complete your application in any of the 24 official EU languages.
Indicate any specific accommodations needed for taking the tests and follow the instructions in the Step-by-Step flyer to requesting reasonable accommodations (adjustments) in EPSO Selection Tests. Contact us immediately if you need help with your online application.
EPSO’s systems support the most commonly used Internet browsers. If you encounter issues, please consider changing the browser first before contacting us. The use of mobile devices to fill in the application form is not recommended.
As soon as you saved your application for the first time, you will receive an application number. Please always mention this number in your correspondence with EPSO.
Candidates must upload documents supporting their declarations in the application form by the deadline in the Notice of Competition.
Questions sent to the EPSO Candidate Contact Service during the last days of the application period might not be answered before the deadline for applications.
