When a person fills in the "admission form" do they list skillsets, can the questions be asked in such a way that they have to somewhat prove their knowledge? Rather than asking what software apps you know, and have it be a pick list, ask pointed questions in what work ahve you done.. Describe what you've done.

What market are you gearing towards? Web Design? Database?
