Currently preparing for EU Concours AD5 · 2026

The EU Concours prep platform
built by someone
actually going through it.

I couldn't find the preparation tools I needed. So I built them — for myself, and for every candidate who's serious about joining the EU institutions in 2026.

Why I'm building this

When I started preparing for the AD5 competition, I found the same problem every serious candidate hits: the good material is either generic, outdated, or locked behind expensive courses that weren't built by people who've been inside the institutions.

I have an unusual vantage point. I completed a traineeship at the European Parliament during a pivotal legislative moment — the passage of the Fit for 55 package. I've seen how EU policy actually gets made, not just how it looks in prep books.

Now I'm going through the selection process myself. Which means every tool I build, I test on the toughest critic I know: me, at 7am, trying to make it through 20 abstract reasoning questions before work.

"The best preparation platform is built by someone who needs it as much as you do."
The build-in-public principle

What this means for you: every resource here reflects what's actually working for a current candidate preparing for the 2026 competition — not a theoretical framework built years ago and never updated.

We're building this in public. Early users are testing the tools now. Testimonials coming as soon as results do.

★★★★★

"The 8-week study plan is the first structured EPSO prep resource I've found that actually accounts for how much time the EU Knowledge test requires. This is exactly what was missing."

"Finally a flashcard set that covers the actual content of the EU Knowledge test — not just generic 'who is the President of the Commission' questions. The policy depth is real."
