Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-CAS Interviews
What is a Pre-CAS interview?
A Pre-CAS interview is a credibility assessment that some UK universities use before issuing a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). Requirements and processes vary by institution.
How can I prepare for my UK Pre-CAS interview?
Understand your chosen university, course, study plans, finances and personal motivations. Practise answering in your own words under realistic conditions rather than memorising scripted answers.
Can I practise a Pre-CAS interview for free?
Every new JapaPrep account includes one complimentary mock interview credit. Additional interviews require credits. No payment is required to use your first interview.
Is JapaPrep an official CAS Shield or Enroly platform?
No. JapaPrep is an independent preparation platform. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Enroly, CAS Shield, UKVI or any UK university.
How realistic are JapaPrep mock interviews?
JapaPrep provides timed preparation, realistic practice questions and recorded answers. Actual university interview procedures may differ.
Can I practise for my specific UK university?
You can provide your chosen university and course details so the practice experience can be personalised. JapaPrep does not provide or guarantee access to a university’s confidential or exact interview questions.
Will JapaPrep guarantee that I pass my Pre-CAS interview?
No. JapaPrep is a preparation tool and cannot guarantee university decisions, CAS issuance or visa approval.
What happens to my interview recordings?
Audio is processed to create transcripts and feedback. Temporary server audio is discarded after processing; unprocessed audio may be kept on your device for recovery for up to 24 hours. If you opt in to camera feedback, selected still images are sent for analysis and are not saved as image files. Transcripts, observations and reports are saved in your account. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.
