Ja, innerhalb einer Testperiode kann die Multicheck-Eignungsanalyse zweimal pro Berufsfeld durchgeführt werden. Es gibt keine Mindestwartezeit zwischen den Tests, allerdings wird das Ergebnis des ersten Tests auf dem Zertifikat des zweiten Tests vermerkt, wenn sie im selben Jahr stattfinden.

Die Multicheck-Eignungsanalyse bewertet, ob die Bewerber die akademischen und intellektuellen Anforderungen für das gewünschte Berufsprofil erfüllen. Eine Punktzahl unter dem Eignungswert von 40 kann den Ausbildungserfolg erschweren, aber die endgültige Entscheidung über die Zulassung liegt beim Ausbildungsbetrieb.
