# begin()

Starts an assessment session.

## Declaration

```swift
func begin()
```

## Discussion

Discussion After calling the begin() method, wait until the session’s delegate receives the assessmentSessionDidBegin(_:) method before starting an assessment or showing sensitive information. When you’re ready to stop the assessment session, call the end() method.
