Guide to Applying: Creating an Account
Before you can start your application form you will need to create an account. Having an account allows you to save as you go and means that you don't need to complete your form in one go.
Your Details
| Question | Guidance Notes |
|---|---|
| First name | Please enter your first name as it appears on your passport or birth certificate. If you are normally known by a different name, you can enter this later on in your form. |
| Surname | Please enter your surname as it appears on your passport or birth certificate. If you are normally known by a different surname, you can enter this later on in your form. |
| Date of birth | The year that you can chose is restricted to a small range. The application form is only open to people applying for our 16-19 years old courses only. If you want to apply for a place on one of our adult education courses you will need to visit ahed.psc.ac.uk instead. |
Email Address
| Question | Guidance Notes |
|---|---|
| Your email address | Your email address is very important. It will become
your sign in name and we will send a verification email to it. You
will need to follow the instructions sent in the verification email
before you can continue with your form, so please double check that
you've entered it correctly. Each email address can be only used for one application per year. If you share the email address with another applicant then one of you will need to obtain a different email address. There are several sites on the internet that offer free email accounts. These include Google GMail, Microsoft Hotmail and Yahoo. |
Choose a Password

|---|---|
| Password | Choose a password that you will remember. The only restrictions that we put on your password are that it must be at least 5 characters long and contain no spaces. |
Parent Email Address
| Question | Guidance Notes |
|---|---|
| Parent / guardian email address | Later on in the application process your parent / guardian will be required to enter some information. Please enter a valid email address for them (this may be the same as the email you use for your account). We will then send them details on how to access your form. |
