Preparation for the European qualifying examination (EQE) - course offer in English, German and French language
As part of the Euro-CEIPI collaboration with the European Patent Academy, CEIPI offers a complete range of courses preparing for the European qualifying examination 2025. We offer training modules varying in length from one day courses to five-day seminars, organized as on-site courses and also online. These courses, which all use proprietary high-quality material, take place from September 2024 to February 2025. All of them are offered in English, German and French language.
CEIPI considers itself successful in providing candidates with a set of courses adapted to the EQE, increasing their chances of success. Statistics based on the feedback of successful French speaking candidates show that their chance of success - after following such a program - is in the order of 70 - 80%, i.e. significantly higher than the average success rate.
Our training offer consists of the following courses:
Foundation Paper F 2026:

In addition to the above courses, the CEIPI organizes a Wiseflow webinar for registered course participants, which provides practical information on the online examination and its special features on the Wiseflow platform and offers the opportunity to ask questions. The Wiseflow webinar is included in the course fee.
Except for the mock exam courses, the whole CEIPI training preparing for the EQE 2025 is offered either on-site or online.
Experience has shown that the on-site training format prepares candidates most efficiently for the examination, because it facilitates intense communication between tutors and participants and among the course participants. The CEIPI therefore recommends to give priority to the on-site training format. However, in order to also prepare those candidates for the EQE who cannot attend the on-site training, the CEIPI also organizes the above courses preparing for the EQE 2025 as online training.
The mock exam courses which aim at putting candidates under the conditions of the e-EQE are therefore exclusively organized online.
The CEIPI courses preparing for the EQE 2025 are complementary to the ASPI training: the respective course calendars have been fixed in order to enable French speaking candidates to attend both trainings. ASPI and CEIPI propose different mock exam papers in their courses.
The CEIPI offers special attractive “package” prices for candidates simultaneously enrolling for the complete range of courses preparing for one or more papers of the EQE.
