Why is there no syllabus?

Expertise as a level of knowledge and experience cannot be imparted through a syllabus or training course only. Many different building blocks need to come together to achieve expertise, such as continuous personal development, exchange with other experts and a permanent questioning of beliefs. Consequently, an Expert Syllabus or training courses do not exist!

What the CPRE EL examination comprises

The examination consists of two parts:

1. Written application
2. Oral examination (face-to-face meeting or video conference at a dedicated place)

For details see the Examination Regulations at the bottom of this page.

Language

The language for all parts of the examination (written application, oral examination) is English. Other languages may be possible on request, but this cannot be guaranteed.
