After extensive training at ABTA, an ITEC examiner from overseas travels to the Academy to test candidates' theoretical and practical skills, as well as assess their case study portfolios to ensure they comply with ITEC's commitment to quality. The case studies section is extensive-requiring studies in all areas, which are designed to demonstrate thorough knowledge of the field.
