Our Services
Credibility Assessments
At Cognitio, we have developed an advanced version of the standard credibility interview process practised by many universities in the UK. The salient aspects of our credibility assessments services are as follows:
-
Comprehensive assessment of each area of the credibility interview.
-
Systematic corroboration exercise to establish the English language proficiency of the applicants: We assess all applicants via an IELTS-style discursive speech and by requiring them to answer curveball questions.
-
With staff holding British postgraduate qualifications in Education and in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) as well as well as experience in Transnational Education (TNE): we are in a position to assess and corroborate the English language proficiency of the applicants in an objective manner.
-
Decades of combined experience in cross-cultural settings: We understand the requirements of our university clients as well as the contexts of the applicants from high-risk countries.
-
The credibility assessment exercises are continuously reviewed and moderate by our Quality Assurance Panel.
-
Live interviews with highly trained credibility assessors - we do not employ automation. This approach enables us to maintain robust standards which require the thorough assessment of the nuances of interview performances across multiple criteria.
-
The wherewithal to conduct large number of credibility assessment exercises year-round and when close to the intake dates.
