This program is designed for public servants seeking promotion to Level A in Belgium. It is structured as a selection process with multiple test series. To advance, candidates must first pass the Selor test series. Subsequently, they will undertake four knowledge-acquisition tests. Before taking these tests, candidates are required to complete four subjects (worth at least 4 ECTS each) from a Master's program at a university or college. One subject must be in law, economics, or government finance, with the other three chosen in consultation with the P&O Director. Passing these tests leads to the final series.
