The flowchart provides a high-level outline of what happens after you have submitted your Assessment Application. The first step is a careful and comprehensive review of your application by two trained assessors who are certified at or above the level you have applied for. They use the materials you submitted to prepare for their interview with you.

After the interview, they record their results independently to minimize the potential for anchoring bias. In order to pass, you must provide clear and convincing evidence of competent performance against at least 80% of the competence elements.
