The Frontex Standing Corps selection combines a reasoning & psychometric battery with a Knowledge Test on border management, fundamental rights, and ICT for the Standing Corps, plus an English language assessment.
English B2 level. CBT format, adaptive difficulty, immediate explanations. Same reasoning engine as our EPSO AD prep.
Tables, charts and short word problems under time pressure. Same engine that powers our EPSO numerical bank — adaptive, with worked-out explanations on every answer.
Pattern recognition figure series — the format used across EU agency psychometric batteries. Curated bank, no auto-generated noise.
Regulation (EU) 2019/1896 (EBCG, EUROSUR, Standing Corps, integrated planning), Schengen Borders Code, Return Directive 2008/115/EC, Reg 656/2014 on maritime operations. Each question anchored to a specific article.
Charter of Fundamental Rights applied to border operations, non-refoulement, vulnerable persons, child protection, asylum at the border (Directive 2013/32/EU), data protection (Reg 2018/1725, GDPR/LED).
Frontex Code of Conduct, integrity scenarios, fundamental rights officer, and the ICT systems Standing Corps officers operate at the border: SIS, EES, ETIAS, FADO.
Dedicated English-at-B2 module (grammar, comprehension, professional register) to mirror the Frontex English Test. Ships once the curated bank is ready.
Exact test composition varies by category (AD/AST grade). Always consult the specific vacancy notice for your applied position.

The European Border and Coast Guard Standing Corps is the EU's first uniformed law enforcement service. It supports Member States in border management, return operations, and the fight against cross-border crime. Established under Regulation (EU) 2019/1896.
Computer-based Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) tests covering EU legislation related to Frontex, EU institutions and bodies, fundamental rights in law enforcement, professionalism and integrity, and ICT for the Standing Corps. Followed by short-answer and scenario-based exercises, then a psychological assessment (online interview) and a competency-based interview. Each stage is eliminatory.
Nationals of EU Member States and Schengen Associated Countries. Each vacancy notice (RCT-…) specifies the exact eligibility — grade, experience, fitness requirements where relevant. English at B2 level (CEFR) is required across all categories.
Yes. Our first 60 Frontex field questions are live now, each anchored to a specific article of EU law — EBCG Regulation 2019/1896, Schengen Borders Code, Return Directive, Reg 656/2014 on maritime operations, Charter of Fundamental Rights, asylum at the border (Directive 2013/32/EU), data protection (Reg 2018/1725), and the ICT systems used at the border (SIS, EES, ETIAS, FADO).

No. Frontex runs its own selection process through its recruitment microsite (microsite.frontex.europa.eu). The format and topics are different from EPSO competitions — but Verbal Reasoning, EU Institutional Knowledge, and the open-ended written exercise rubric overlap, which is why our existing platform already covers a meaningful share of the prep.
The Frontex recruitment microsite at microsite.frontex.europa.eu/en/recruitments/ lists every open call (each with an RCT-… reference) and includes the full notice with selection process, test format, and timeline.
Buy once, train on what's live today (Verbal, EU Knowledge, open-ended writing), and every Frontex-specific module ships into your account on rolling release. Lifetime access.
