Assessments

You may proceed to the assessments once you have attended the corresponding course or acquired relevant knowledge.  Note that the assessments may include topics not covered in the course but which are documented in the standard FRONT ARENA documentation. You may need to refer to the learning resources listed below when completing your assessment.

The assessments page has more information including the style of assessment (types of questions), which assessments can be taken separately, and which must be taken together.

AEF Base assessments are controlled tests - this means that you need to contact Front University in advance in order to agree a start date for the tests. To do so, please use the registration links on the assessments page.
