The earlier you take part on our assessment day, the higher the chance is to gain a place in your chosen programme and location; some can get filled fast, so we advise you to try your best to attend the date you have been invited to. However, if you cannot attend, please do let us know beforehand and we’ll try our best to invite you to the next available date if the programme is still open.
