What is EQE?
According to CEIPI’s web pages: “Established in 1979, the European qualifying examination (EQE) is widely regarded as one of the most difficult and demanding professional examinations, both intellectually and physically, with candidates required to prove their aptitude and knowledge in four papers spread over three consecutive days. Although 80% of all candidates who enroll for the EQE are eventually successful – some of them only after many attempts – the success rate of first-time candidates is just 30 – 40%. ”
