Description
Executive Officer Preparation
The Executive Officer (EO) role is a first-level management role in all government departments and agencies. This role encompasses project management and staff management across a wide range of business areas. Many recruitment competitions for Executive Officers require candidates to undertake aptitude tests and an interview as part of the selection process. We prepare candidates for these.
Career Services -The Entrance Exam Experts has been Ireland’s leading provider of preparation courses for the selection tests used for entry into various careers since 1987. Our courses have helped thousands of candidates successfully prepare for the aptitude tests and interviews that have formed part of the selection process in many recruitment campaigns within the Civil Service and others.
Our preparation course is optional but it is excellent preparation for the aptitude tests and interviews used in the selection process for various Executive Officer competitions, including those used in the Civil Service.

“I purchased the clerical officer course in 2017 and I placed no 1 in my chosen location. Without the course, practising the aptitude test, helpful hints on interviews etc. I would not have placed so high in my location. Since then I purchased the Executive Officer course and again I placed high in my chosen location and I had a placement within 7 months of doing the exams. I would 100% recommend purchasing a course to help you progress in the exams. You get an in-depth explanation on maths and verbal reasoning and with practise you will increase your speed and accuracy for the real exam.I would be happy to purchase a course from Career Services in the future. Staff also extremely friendly and helpful. I have no hesitation recommending Career Services!” – Eileen
