The New Application Process

This year there will be five stages to the application process:

  1. Learner submits application
  2. An appointment is made with the learner to view supporting evidence via a TEAMS/ZOOM/ SKYPE call, (please let MMS team know if this will not be possible)
  3. A member of the MMS team and the learner meet in a chat forum at an agreed time to discuss and track evidence.
  4. You will also be asked to confirm that you understand and will abide by the 'Student Agreement'.
  5. A member of the MMS team will assess application
  6. Confirmation of the award or decline of the application will be sent to the learner via email (letter will only be sent where email is not suitable).

Applications will be processed in the order they are received, and we will begin assessing them from 1st August 2020.

Please be patient with us, we will process your application as timely as we are able to and will contact you via email (or letter if appropriate) to let you know the outcome.
