Training for EPAC candidates
This course comprises five modules addressing the topics of the syllabus of the European patent administration certificate (EPAC), including the UP/UPC. The modules each last one month.
The modules include a self-learning phase of approximately two weeks, a first online session where EPO tutors summarise the main takeaways and a second online session approximately one week later to answer any remaining questions. Self-assessment tests are available at the end of each module.
The course is in English, but participants can also interact with the tutors in French and German.
The tutored phase of this course ends on 31 July 2025. However, registration will remain open and participants will still be able to access training material and their self-assessments, and use the forum to exchange views, right up until the EPAC examination takes place.
Registration is now open.
