As soon as a decision is available, we will contact you via email. This may take up to four weeks depending on your interview date. Please note, all our offers are conditional on the outcome of an extended DBS checking process that we organise once students have enrolled in September. If you are aware of any issues that would arise in undertaking a DBS check, it is helpful to discuss these during your interview as this can avoid delays closer to the start date for the course. DBS check offers will be conditional upon our receipt of:

• Satisfactory health screening
• Satisfactory references (if not provided before your interview)
