FAQ's

Q: What is the difference between this session and the regular info sessions at VPD Headquarters?
A: The combined information session/POPAT is a smaller-scale session that gives you the opportunity to see the POPAT setup, where applicants would typically perform the test.

Q: Do I have to run the full POPAT, and is anything recorded?
A: No, everything will be set up to test and try individual segments. No one will be running the full POPAT, and nothing will be recorded.

Q: I’m not ready for the POPAT. Do I have to do it at all?
A: There is absolutely no pressure to participate in any part of the POPAT. You can simply observe the setup and connect with others if you prefer.

Q: I registered for this, but I really only want the information session.
A: We kindly ask that you cancel your ticket and register for one of our Saturday morning information sessions or a Wednesday evening session on Eventbrite.
