The present call for tender aims to enable EASA to effectively offer an extensive and appropriate set of high-quality language services.

The language training services will have the following formats: — Group language training at EASA, — 1-to-1, or 2-to-1 language training, — Specialised/Thematic group training at EASA, — Language assessment in one of the EU official languages (for candidates applying to an EASA job vacancy), — Additional Other linguistic services, according to the offer and capacity of the provider.

The objective is to enable staff members to demonstrate a working knowledge of a third official EU language (B2 level) before their first promotion as requested by the Staff Regulations applicable to EU servants.
