Granted, we understand that candidates coming from all over the world and so that may not always be the easiest thing to do, so there are other ways that you can engage. You could take advantage of the videos on our website. You can take advantage of the webinars that we host. It could be that you're connecting with the current students or even the alumni that live in the region that you are currently in."

It's been created specifically to measure the skills and knowledge of professionals. It is also designed to require modest preparation and is shorter in length at 90 minutes."
