Do students get to choose their own teams?
Students are encouraged to apply as a team, but are allowed to apply individually. If students apply as a team that does not necessarily mean that each student will be accepted into the MCFE program. The Program Manager assembles students who apply individually into groups.

Then the program manager will provide you with the information about MCFE for the company and a sponsor application.

Who will grade me?
The MCFE Advisor will assign your final grade. Grades are assigned on a group basis.
