For an overview of the participation and penalty fees, take a look at the Fee Policy page.
At the end of the EBT, you will be charged with a SEPA incasso for all activities in which you participated. Please note that any iDEAL or SEPA payments come with a fee which will be added to your bill. Also, note that any penalties for not showing up to an activity will be added to your bill.
I am unable to participate, what should I do?

Will the activities take place physically?
The EBT follows the measures as implemented by the Dutch government. For now, the activities will all take place physically, however this is subject to change and will be communicated timely.
Why do I have to upload both an anonymous CV as well as a regular CV?
As of 2023, the EBT requires you to upload an anonymous CV next to your regular CV. This system was implemented in order to remove subconscious bias from the selection process. As a result, companies will select participants based on their anonymous CVs.
Which activities require a(n) (anonymous) CV to sign up?
The following activities require you to upload your CV:
- Consultancy Experience
- Big Four Accountancy Experience
- Case Days

Should I upload a Dutch or an English CV?
It depends on the activities you register for. If you register for English activities, make sure to upload an English CV. If you only register for Dutch activities, a Dutch CV is sufficient.
