NAVIGATING (MOVING THROUGH) THE APPLICATION FORM
On the left hand side of every screen, there is a box which links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.
Do not click on the 'back' button in your internet browser as this will remove the work you have just completed.
SAVING YOUR DRAFT APPLICATION
If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the Download button at the bottom of the application navigation panel.
SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the final page. You need to review your application before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel.
All questions marked with an * are compulsory. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and within any specified word limits.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive an automated confirmation e-mail with a PDF copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission e-mail then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted. Please contact us if you do not receive this e-mail.
ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS
You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a zip drive, or similar.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
COMPLETING AN APPLICATION IN A GROUP/TEAM
A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
SPELL CHECK
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
