The first part of the AD5 competition testing will take place during the week of 9 to 13 November 2026. 

On 19 October, candidates will receive an invitation letter through the Single Candidate Portal (SCP), confirming the week in which they will sit the tests and providing further instructions. The letter will not include their individual testing date and time. Candidates should therefore make sure that they have access to their Single Candidate Portal account and can log in to view all the information. 

From 20 October until 6 November, candidates will be able to access the testing platform and complete the required pre-requisite test. This will help candidates to check that their technical setup works correctly and that they are ready for the real test. Once on the TAO platform, they will also see the precise date and time of their individual test session.  

Further information on the second part of the AD5 Graduates testing will be provided at a later stage.
