Register

This is the easy part. Simply register your details and provide your academic information. That’s all there is to it.

If you need any adjustments for any stage of the process, make sure to let us know when you register and one of our team will be in touch to discuss.

Digital assessments

  • To get you in the swing of things, you’ll get some time to practice recording your answers. Make the most of this so you’re ready for your final take
