Step 2: Structured admission interview by the management of the certificate programme
The aim of the admission interview is to use a standardised interview to assess the benefits of further training for the applicant’s professional future and its realistic feasibility. The main criteria used are the relevance and duration of previous professional practice, information about the course and the applicant’s clarity of objectives regarding the benefits of the course in relation to his or her own professional activity.
If the number of applicants who meet the admission criteria in equal measure exceeds the maximum number of participants, the time of registration is decisive for the ranking.
