Application Forms & Guidance
Please ensure you read the guidance relevant to your application carefully before proceeding with an application.
Applications must be made in writing on the appropriate Application Form. There is a fee payable for each application.
An applicant must ensure that all supporting evidence is sent with the Application Form, and any failure to do so may result in delays in dealing with the application, or in cases of refusal to provide such evidence, the Qualifications Committee reserves the right to reject such applications. In every case the Committee has the power to request further information or documentation be supplied in support of an application, but applicants should note that it is the primary responsibility of the applicant to provide all relevant information and supporting evidence rather than the task of the Qualifications Committee to ask for it.
All applications and any supporting documentation will be provided with the strictest confidence.
The Panels of the Qualifications Committee deal with all applications within 8 weeks of receipt. The Full Committee with 10 weeks.
