ONLINE TRAINING SESSIONS FOR INTERNAL COMPETITIONS 

MCQ FORMAT ON KNOWLEDGE OF EU POLICIES AND INSTITUTIONS 

True to its commitments, R&D will make a special effort to offer you the best possible training to maximise your chances of succeeding in these competitive exams. And without asking you to pay outrageous prices, because we never treat our colleagues as clients.

These internal competitions will be very challenging for you. It is therefore time to start your preparation right away!
In particular, we are convinced that no external consultant will be able to grasp the challenges of CBT on European knowledge better than very experienced and/or former colleagues.

True to its credo, R&D has never asked participants for a single extra euro for its training courses, because for us, colleagues are not customers and solidarity is not an empty word!

Thinking of you, our trainer Maria Glowacz - de Chevilly and colleague Blandine Pellistrandi are launching new sessions on EU Knowledge including a new set of 100 MCQ in an interactive exercise format of 4 separate sessions in EN and FR (each session will consist of 50 questions).

These sessions will allow you to assess your knowledge of the European construction, the main policies and the decision-making procedures.

It will also be an opportunity to discuss the usual tips and tricks and the methodology to use in order to prepare in the most efficient way.

The first module is designed to prepare you for the computer-based multiple-choice pre-selection test (CBT) on your knowledge of EU policies and institutions. The course consists of two-hour sessions in English and two-hour sessions in French. The course includes a theoretical part which will enable participants to acquire study methodology and the correct bibliography. The theoretical part is followed by an interactive session in which we present 100 new questions with answers and explanations of the context.

The second module is to prepare for the written test.
According to the AST-SC2_Notice_of_Competition . EN, this test requires candidates to draft a summary, a letter or a minute. The written test is designed to assess your general ability to perform secretarial and administrative support functions within the Commission. The aim of the session will be to present the structure of all types of writing (letter, memo, summary) in accordance with the Commission's guidelines, applying the principles of clear writing. The module will include both theory and practice.
