The pre-interview study for languages is in an invigilated session in Zoom. This page provides some basic information about joining the Zoom session.

 

We recommend that you use a desktop computer or a laptop, if possible. It is important that you test that the webcam works on the computer that you are planning to use in advance of your interview, in case there are any issues that you need to resolve. 

You can either use Zoom in a browser or install the Zoom application on your computer. If you would like to install the Zoom application on your computer, please see installing Zoom.
 

If you are doing your interviews in school, please check with the IT department that use of Zoom is permitted - some schools block it.

Remember to do a test call on the computer you will use and in the location you will use it. 


You will be given the following joining details in your invitation to interview:

  • The Meeting Link
  • The Meeting ID (a long number - 11 digits)
