CCMS Online Training Module - Means and Merits Assessments

Means and Merits Assessments

There isn’t a one size fits all means or merits assessment, therefore this module contains some of the more complex themes within the assessments. Passported capital means assessments along with income and deductions-based means assessments are explored, along with a common merits assessment.

The session also includes hints and tips along with ways to avoid common pitfalls. The module also covers some of the theory behind the online assessments and how they replace nearly all of the means and merits forms.
