At each level of the Career Progression Gateway there are two exercises set in a shared context. The contexts are fictitious and generic, and candidates do not need prior knowledge of the industry or subject matter to complete the exercises; all information required is contained within the exercise.

Case Study

The case study involves a fictitious situation in which the Candidate will be required to read through information including emails, data and articles, and produce a written response to topics raised.
