The examination is generally scheduled on the final day of each course within the timetable provided for that specific course. For exact examination dates, please visit the course you are interested in and consult the 'Programme' section: Courses - Eipa.

Upon successful completion of all three course examinations within a two-year timeframe, you will receive EIPA's European Certification for Public Procurement Professionals. You can find more details about the certification process by reading our 'Certification Path' section on the 'Why you should become certified' page.

To obtain the certification, you need to attend one seminar from each of the three modules offered. This totals three seminars that cover the essential aspects of public procurement.

There is no specific order in which you must take the courses. You have the flexibility to mix and match the seminars based on your schedule and preferences. Visit our 'Course Modules' page to learn more about what courses are offered in each module: EIPA’s European Certification for Public Procurement Professionals - Eipa.

To successfully complete the program, you must finish all three courses and pass their corresponding examinations within a two-year period. This timeline begins with the initiation of your certification journey, which commences when you attend your first seminar. The specific start date may vary from participant to participant, depending on which Module course you choose to begin with.

The certificate is aimed at legal and policy professionals who would like to develop a distinct profile in EU public procurement. Whether you are planning a future career in the growing public procurement sector, or you are already working in that field and want to extend your knowledge – this programme is designed for you. Diverse previous backgrounds are accepted because the programme will begin by explaining the basics of Public Procurement.

You have the flexibility to plan your course bookings based on your preferences and availability. You are not required to register for all three modules upfront. You can register for one module at a time and decide on the others within the two-year timeframe. Visit our registration page for more information on course registration options: Courses - Eipa.

For online examinations, you are responsible to bring your own laptop / device to the seminar. Details about the specific requirements and examination format will be provided upon registration for the course of your choice.

Currently, our certification program does not have mandatory recertification requirements. Once you obtain the certification, it is valid indefinitely. However, we encourage participants to stay updated with the latest developments in public procurement by attending advanced courses and workshops periodically.

The fees for each module may vary depending on the duration of the course. You can find detailed information about course fees on our Courses - Eipa page. Please note that fees are subject to change, so it is advisable to check the most up-to-date information.
