Built on official guidelines and real experience
The course follows the official guidelines published for the Standing Corps selection, and it is shaped by what past candidates actually met at each stage. You prepare against the real process, not a guess at it.

Taught in clear, fluent English
English is the working language of the Agency and of the recruitment. Every lesson is delivered in clear English, so you learn the terminology you will actually meet in the test and in the interview.

Frontex Standing Corps Recruitment Questions
What is the Frontex Standing Corps?
The Standing Corps is the operational arm of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, and the first uniformed service of the European Union. Its officers are deployed alongside national authorities to support border control, surveillance and return operations at the external borders of the EU.
What does the FrontexPrep course cover?
Five modules: European integration and the recruitment process; the knowledge test, including EU border and migration law, fundamental rights, ethics and ICT systems; the English language test; psychometrics and the psychological assessment, with the personality questionnaire and the situational judgement test; and the interview, criterion by criterion, up to full-length mock interviews.
What are the stages of the Frontex Standing Corps recruitment?
A selection normally begins with an online application and an eligibility check, followed by a knowledge test, an English language test, psychometric and psychological assessment, and a structured competency-based interview. Successful candidates are then placed on a reserve list from which they are recruited.
Who is the course for?
It is designed primarily for Standing Corps Category 1 Team Member (FGIV) candidates. It also gives orientation to those applying for Leadership positions, and students regularly tell us the knowledge about the Agency and the EU framework helped them for other Frontex profiles as well.
Do I need previous border guard or police experience?
No. The course explains the recruitment and the subject matter from the ground up, so it works whether this is your first application or you are already serving with a national authority and want a focused, structured preparation.
How long does the course take to complete?
The video lessons run to a little over 22 hours in total, across 45 lessons and five modules. Access is unlimited and self-paced, so most candidates spread it over several weeks and return to the parts they find hardest.
In which language is the course and the recruitment?
English is the working language of the Agency and of the recruitment process. The course is delivered entirely in clear, fluent English and includes a Frontex core vocabulary book to prepare you for the English language test.
How is the course delivered?
Entirely online, through structured video lessons, quizzes and downloadable books, with unlimited access. You follow it at your own pace, from any Member State, and revisit any lesson as often as you need.
When is the next Frontex Standing Corps recruitment?
Frontex publishes its vacancy notices periodically through its official careers channels. Because a serious preparation takes time, the most effective approach is to be ready before the next call opens rather than starting when the deadline is already running.
What is FrontexPrep?
FrontexPrep is an independent online course dedicated to the Frontex Standing Corps recruitment. It brings the whole preparation together in one place — video lessons, downloadable books and practice — built on official guidelines and the experience of past candidates, and rated 4.98 out of 5 by 41 verified students.
What do I get when I enrol?
Immediate access to all five modules, 45 video lessons and four downloadable books, with unlimited access to the material so you can revise as often as you need.
Can I use the course if I already serve with a national authority?
Yes. Serving officers use it to understand how the Agency works and what the European selection expects, which is different from national recruitment procedures.
