II. ― An oral examination of admission that consists of an interview with the jury to assess the personality, abilities and motivations of the candidate to perform the functions of an advisor for insertion and probation in the penal setting.
This interview is the starting point for a presentation by the candidate from a topic drawn by lot, on the general knowledge program set out in Appendix I to this Order (preparing time: fifteen minutes; duration of maintenance: 30 minutes maximum, of which fifteen minutes at most of the briefing; coefficient 2).
