Can I check my existing MSFFF2011 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MSFFF2011, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
