fee for epi students EUR 180 per selected paper and for non-epi students EUR 360 per selected paper

Mock EQE(s)

The mock EQE(s) allow participants to attempt an EQE exam under exam conditions. The participants sit the various papers (Pre-Examination, A, B, C and D) in the same order as during the real exam and are given exactly the same time to sit the paper(s).

We would like to give EQE candidates the possibility to be more flexible in their preparation for the EQE. For this reason, epi offers the Mock EQE in three different cities at different times, see time schedule.

Time schedule:

Munich:

Brussels:

Helsinki:

The feedback will be given in small groups or one to one session(s) depending on the number of participants. The mock EQE fee is EUR 520 per paper (Registered epi students benefit of a 50% reduction.)

All courses are provided in the three EPO official languages:
English, French and German.
