Course description
In EPSO/AD/427/26, the Free-Text Essay on EU Matters (EUFTE) assesses written communication using documents published in advance and supplied with the tasks. It lasts 40 minutes, is taken in language 2 and requires at least 5/10. It forms part of Part 2, after the reasoning tests, and is neither a language test nor a test of factual knowledge.
This module is designed to teach you how to approach this test with sound judgement, clarity and efficiency, without relying on rigid templates or endless courses.
It prepares you to write solid texts, adapted to the real expectations of the exam, and to arrive on test day with a clear, effective strategy that makes the most of your preparation and your time.
