<b>Advanced Stage</b>
<b><u>Students may attempt the Technical Integration assessments at any point.</b></u>
The Case Study cannot be attempted unless the student has completed all but

So its only the case study that you have to attempt after you pass all exams and
be in the last year of training. Other exams (advanced and Professional stage) can be given anytime
with any combinations.
