Students come from a variety of backgrounds and different experiences. In some cases, students may be able to accelerate their program by enrolling in a theory seminar or seeking an assessment of prior learning depending on their background.
Part of that process includes a self-assessment exercise called a diagnostic test. Diagnostic tests for theory seminars are designed to help you choose whether to take a course or independent study, enroll in a theory seminar, or to seek an assessment of prior learning. If this is an option you are considering, incorporate it early in your program by checking out the Complete List of Theory Seminars where you can explore the different subjects, diagnostic tests and syllabi to make some initial self assessments and contacts.
