Academic Interview

Once we have submitted your application for the course of your choice, a member of CECOS admissions staff will check it to make sure it has been fully completed and that you are eligible to enrol in the course.

In the event that your application meets the entry criteria, you will receive an invitation to a web interview with a member of CECOS' academic team. These academic interviews typically last around 30 minutes and are used to evaluate the following:

  • Your educational and/or professional history
  • Your knowledge of and readiness for the course
  • Your knowledge of the topic, the industry, and the relevant careers

They conduct interviews with every applicant who satisfies their entry requirements as part of their quality process.

If you are applying through the Standard Entry route (Academic Achievement), the interviewer will want to ask you about your educational background and how the course will help you further your professional or career progression. 

English Language Requirements
  • You must pass CECOS' English language screening test if you lack certification that shows you have the necessary level of English ability.
  • You will be evaluated under supervision on your reading, writing, speaking, and listening abilities.
  • You might need to take pre-sessional lessons and take a final English exam in order to enrol in chosen course.
  • You will be excluded from this step if you have a recognised English qualification.
  • It takes about 90 minutes to finish the basic English evaluation.

  • Three GCSEs at a minimum of grade C (4), including maths and English (or Level 2 equivalent)
  • Minimum of 32 UCAS Tariff Points (80 UCAS on previous tariff)
