Basic Computer Skills Assessment

Prospective students must have a fundamental knowledge of how to operate a computer.

Basic Internet Skills Assessment.

VANAS is a cloud school, meaning we rely heavily on the internet to deliver our programs. Prospective students need to know how to connect to the internet and perform basic tasks to be successful in our programs.

Expectations Questionnaire

Prospective students are asked to reflect on their expectations from VANAS, the industry, and, most importantly, themselves. This way, we ensure we are a good fit for them and vice versa.

English Proficiency Requirement: (Reading Comprehension and Written Skills)

The general assessment responses will be graded in the following categories:

•Task Achievement (scored from 1-9)

•Coherence and Cohesion (scored from 1-9)

•Lexical Resource (scored from 1-9)

•Grammatical Range and Accuracy (scored from 1-9)

•Each component will then be averaged for an overall English Proficiency Score.

If the submission falls below a score of 5, students will be asked to complete an English Proficiency Evaluation Test and may be asked to complete a telephone or video interview to evaluate their conversational English level.
