Foundation Integrated - EIPEF

Foundation Integrated – EIPEF

The Foundation Integrated Training course is the first training course of its kind in Europe which reduces the legal syllabus of the EQE to focus solely on the Foundation paper of the New EQE. It offers the benefits of DeltaPatents training and materials while attending in-person sessions in the Netherlands. Using our experiences from many past candidates, the homework is concentrated on the subjects which tend to require the most help. Both procedural and substantive aspects are covered and we integrated also the claim analysis part of the Foundation paper from the start in this training. Candidates will experience from the start how the gained knowledge can be used in an efficient way in order to pass the Foundation paper. The Foundation paper syllabus has been divided into EPC and PCT modules. The course is based around a strict homework schedule, which indicates the modules to be studied.
This course primarily targets candidates preparing for the Foundation paper of the New EQE in 2026. The hybrid course features onsite introductory and discussion sessions in Utrecht, The Netherlands, followed by online sessions and mock exams in WISEflow, ensuring a flexible and comprehensive learning experience.
