CAS Shield — Credibility Interview Practice

Prepare for your university credibility (CAS) interview with confidence.

Before issuing a CAS, many UK universities hold a credibility interview to check that you're a genuine student who understands your course, finances and study plans. CAS Shield helps you practise the kinds of questions you may be asked and structure clear, honest answers.

CAS Shield Interview Practice is free for students applying through StudyPortal.ai.

Practice helps you prepare — it does not guarantee interview or visa success. Decisions rest with the university and UKVI.
