On 21-25 March SCIT held a series of aptitude tests.  The examination board consisted of the SCIT trainers, including Boris Pogodin, UN interpreter with 25 years of experience, and Brian Gentle, European Commission representative and experienced EC SCIC interpreter. Only six candidates succeeded in a series of rigorous tests. Regrettably, due to the terrorist attack on Brussels airport Noel Muylle, Honorary Director General of the European Commission and SCIT Honorary president, could not participate in the work of the examination board.
