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.
Coming soon. The interactive CAS Shield practice system is coming soon. Start your StudyPortal application to get access when it launches.

How it works

  1. Understand what a credibility interview assesses.
  2. Practise common question themes — course choice, finances, post-study plans.
  3. Learn how to give clear, consistent and genuine answers.
  4. Go into your real interview calmer and better prepared.
