Application Process and Further Information
Once your completed application form, supporting documents, and application fee have been received, your application is sent to the Applications Committee (AC). The AC will review all documents and may be in contact with further questions, should this be needed, to clarify any information in relation to the entry requirements.
If your application is approved to progress, you will then be informed of the names of three internal GAP reviewers and one external reviewer. You will then arrange to meet all four reviewers for your application interviews.
After the interviews, the reviewers will send their reports back to the AC who will then review the reports, and the recommendations from the reviewers, before informing you of the outcome of your application. This process is detailed and can take several months.
For further information or if you have any questions, please contact the GAP Administrator of Training at [email protected] or call 0118 922 2993.
