| (c) | The proceedings of the selection board are confidential.

(c)

The proceedings of the selection board are confidential. You may not, under any circumstances, contact the board either directly or indirectly, nor may you submit to it any letters of recommendation. The board is not allowed to take any approaches of this type into consideration and may in such circumstances exclude you from the competition.

2.   Tests

The nature of tests varies from one competition to another (see notice of competition).

As a general rule, the tests and/or written tests are held simultaneously for all applicants at all the designated test locations. Since this is a competition, no exceptions to this rule are permitted and no applicants may sit any of the tests at a different date or at a different place for any reason whatsoever.

The oral tests are generally held in Luxembourg, on the date given in the invitation letter. In certain exceptional circumstances, however, the selection board may consent to an applicant's request for a change of date.

If the competition has preselection tests, applicants are entitled to be sent, on request and within a month of the date of notification of their results, a copy of their answers together with a list of the correct answers. After the written tests, they may obtain, on request and within a month of the date of notification of their results, a copy of their written paper.

Candidates who give up during the tests will have none of their tests marked.

3.   Travelling and subsistence expenses

As a rule, no contribution will be made towards any travelling or subsistence expenses associated with the preselection and written test(s).

You may be entitled to a flat-rate contribution towards travelling and subsistence expenses once you are admitted to the oral test. You will be notified of the applicable rates and the procedure to follow when you are invited to attend.

4.   Reserve list

At the end of the competition, the selection board draws up a list of candidates it considers qualified for the duties described in the competition notice.

Consequently, since this competition is of a specific nature, candidates will only be recruited to posts corresponding to these duties.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that being included on the reserve list does not guarantee eventual employment.

Moreover, since this competition is organised in order to establish a reserve list, recruitment will take place throughout the validity of this reserve list.

B.   RECRUITMENT

Before being appointed to your post, you must undergo a compulsory medical examination designed to verify your capability to perform the duties associated with your position.

1.   Probation period

Successful candidates are initially recruited as probationer officials. Their appointment is not made permanent until they successfully complete the probation period (nine months).

There are European Schools at most of the main places of activity of the European institutions, providing infant, primary and secondary education in several language sections up to the level of European Baccalaureate. The education provided and the qualifications awarded by these Schools are recognised in all Member States.

There are also nursery facilities for children under school age.
