Overview
RIPAM is not one exam. This page covers what can be confirmed on the official recruitment portal, inPA (Portale del reclutamento), which the Department of Public Administration (Dipartimento della Funzione Pubblica) runs as a single entry point for recruitment into Italian public administrations. The portal does not use the name RIPAM, so this page does not describe a separate RIPAM procedure.
On inPA, public bodies publish their competitions and notices, and citizens can search them and apply. Its listing has a category for competitions run by the Department of Public Administration together with Formez PA, alongside categories for ordinary competitions, mobility notices, selections for professionals and experts, and special procedures.
How to apply
Create a profile on inPA by registering and completing your CV, which also puts you in the portal's recruitment network. You can search the competitions database by category, area, status (open or closed), sector, publication period, salary band and the recruiting body. Each competition has its own announcement (bando) that sets the eligibility, tests and deadline, so read it before applying.
After the exam
The portal publishes notices for each competition, such as calendars of preselection, written and oral tests, the examining commission, deadline extensions and the final ranking.
Preparation tips
Content and stages differ between competitions, so prepare from the bando of the competition you apply for. Check the portal's notices for test calendars.
