What to expect

Graduate Assessment Day

The Assessment Day is by invitation only, which means that following your application, CPC will notify you if you have been successful.

We will focus on exploring your competencies, skills, expectations and ambitions, and why you would like to be part of CPC. Once we confirm your invitation, you will be sent the relevant details in advance, so that you are fully informed and can prepare for the day.
