The interview process is structured to focus on your demonstrated experience and competence:
You will have 15 minutes for a Presentation to showcase your experience.
Assessors' questions will be based within the content of your submitted Training and Experience Report and your Presentation material.
You are expected to demonstrate competence "within a practice area," rather than at "an Expert level."
For the MCL route only, there will be an Experienced Assessor acting as a Facilitator during the interview.
