Practical preparation advice

The following practical guidance may help candidates prepare well for this competition; it is unofficial advice and does not replace the announced conditions:

• Check that the required speciality (foreign languages) matches the diploma submitted and that the diploma is the licence or an equivalent, not a mere certificate of success.
• Prepare in advance a copy of the equivalence decision or the table published in the Official Bulletin if the diploma comes from a foreign or private university.
• Revise legal, economic, managerial, social, human and scientific issues for the general test, and focus on the foreign-languages field and the administration's remit for the special test.
• Draft a handwritten application stating the name, address, telephone number, email address, cadre and speciality, and sign it by hand.
• Make sure all documents are uploaded to the platform before the deadline and verify the accuracy of the declared data.
• Follow the public employment website and the university portal for the lists of admitted candidates, since publication serves as the summons.
