After you apply

How does releasing applications work?

We release your Application (with the Suitability Statements) to the courses as soon as practical after:

1. we have checked your GBC document
2. your nominees have submitted both of your Suitability Statements
3. you have paid your fee in full

How will I know when my Application is released?

Your Application will change from "Not released to course centres" to:

• Application released to course centres:
  this gives the courses access to your Application for their short-listing process (see the Short-listing page for more information).

We email you to let you know that your Application has been released. Your email software may treat our emails as junk or spam, so please check your Junk/Spam Email folder(s) regularly.

When are applications released?

We release applications to the courses in batches of approximately 100.

The first batch is usually released in November when enough applications are ready. Batches are then released regularly, throughout December and January.

Courses consider all applications we release to them, regardless of which batch an application is in.

The final batch will be released on 29 January 2027.

Documents

Please upload documents as soon as you can.

You can upload Documents for Specific Course Centres after you submit your Application. But, if at all possible, please upload them before your Application is released to the courses.

If you upload a document after your Application has been released:

• we will email the courses to let them know
• the courses decide how they treat it in their selection process

Please do not email Documents for Specific Course Centres to us as we cannot upload them for you.

• Please see the Documents for Courses page for more details about uploading documents

Withdrawing your Application

Once your Application has been released to the courses you can withdraw it if you need to:

• login to your Application
• choose Withdraw for the appropriate course(s)
• click Confirm Action

Confirming will email the course(s) concerned.

You cannot use this to replace one course with another e.g. if you applied to 4 courses and you withdraw from one, your Application will only be considered by the remaining 3 courses.
