Quando estará disponível o material de preparação para a prova de conhecimentos sobre a UE?
Tenho de pagar para participar num concurso do EPSO?
Não, nunca se paga para participar num concurso do EPSO.
A candidatura e a participação nos processos de seleção do EPSO são gratuitas.
O EPSO não cobra taxas de inscrição ou de participação em nenhuma fase do processo de concurso.
Existem empresas privadas que propõem cursos de preparação, material de formação ou coaching contra pagamento para os concursos do EPSO. Mas essas empresas funcionam de forma independente e não estão associadas nem são aprovadas pelo EPSO nem pelas instituições europeias.
Tenha cuidado se vir mensagens, sítios Web ou publicações nas redes sociais a sugerir que é preciso pagar uma taxa para se candidatar a um concurso do EPSO.

Candidates who are successful in the competition, will be placed on the reserve list, from which any of the European Union institutions, bodies or agencies may recruit.
