ADMISSION TIMELINE
Timeline: Admissions will open in mid-November
The 3 stages listed below will take place between end-November to end-December.
Applicants must sit through 3 stages to be considered for the programme:
- Stage 1: Briefing on programme details. Both the youth and an accompanying adult (parent/guardian/social worker) will need to be present.
- Stage 2: Placement Test. This test is to assess the youth’s current knowledge and if our curriculum is suited for them.
- Stage 3: Interview. Youth will have to sit in front of a (friendly!) panel of interviewers to express their ambitions and why they want to be part of this programme. This interview is for the youth only.
Only 40-50 applicants will be selected to enrol in our programme.
We receive 90-100 applications yearly. We will try our best to provide alternatives if a rejected applicant reaches out.
