CPED Phases
The three phases of CPED are as follows.
1. The application form.
Applicants should transfer information from the application form to the scoring sheet. The three questions here will be scored out of 20.
2. The writing task.
Each applicant will write a 200 word narrative on their personal and professional life, in English. The writing task will be scored out of 30 on the following criteria
- The applicant’s ability to stay focused and to fully address the topic and ensure that his or her main ideas are sufficiently developed and supported
- The ability to use a range of sentence structures and organise his or her ideas cohesively
- The ability to use punctuation to appropriately clarify the meaning of the sentence
- The ability to use neat and legible handwriting and use correct spelling
3. The interview
A one to one interview is conducted to evaluate the candidate’s proficiency in spoken English as well as his or her ability and motivation.
