    Hi! No problem. So we don't communicate any outcomes until after all of our Assessments have been completed - we'll aim to do this by the 1st or 2nd week in March. For the case study, our assessors are looking at how well you are able to understand and communicate the case study.

    Hi, yes, there is still a video interview. It is part of the blended assessment, although you can save your progress so don't have to do all of the assessments in one sitting
