Can I save as I go?

Apply

You can click 'Save & Continue Editing': at any point you can save the page you are on and return to your application at a later stage.

You can click 'Mark as complete': this will indicate that you have completed the specific application task.

I’ve finished my task and clicked the ‘mark as complete’ button but receive an error message, what’s wrong?

If you receive this note it will likely mean that an answer to a question(s) has not been provided.

Apply

You will notice that a task has been completed.  In this example you will need to have a tick against both tasks before you will be able to ‘Submit’ the application.

Do I need to complete the personal details task?
We need to collect some personal details to process your application and make sure you are old enough to study at the College.

For more information on why we need this data and what we do with it please read our Privacy Policy.

You will see that there are two tasks to complete in this example below.

Both must be ‘marked as complete’ before the application can be submitted using the submit button pictured.

How do I start my application?
To begin, just click on the application form and it will take you to the application form for the specific course.

Apply

Why do I need to tell you the course start date?

One of the questions you will notice is that we ask applicants to specify which course start date they wish to enrol on.

This is because we often run multiple course start dates that run across terms and occasionally academic years.
Selecting the correct start date and time will help our systems enrol you on to the correct course.

How do I navigate between pages and submit my application?

Navigating between pages

Most application forms will have multiple sections.   In order to proceed you will need to click on the Next button.   If it stops you from proceeding it’s likely that some questions have not been completed.

Submitting your application

Now that both tasks have been completed you will need to submit your application. Before submitting you can review your application by clicking the review button.  At this stage you can also edit and make changes before submitting.
