SELECTION PROCEDURE

Awarding of bursaries is based on their availability and the information provided on the application forms. The awards are made entirely at the discretion of the ACT Educational Trust.

Please note: every application window has an allocated budget spend. If the number of applications exceeds this allocation the bursaries will be awarded on a first come, first served basis (providing the eligibility criteria has been met).

From October 2021 we wil be offering any unsuccessful candidates the option to take a partial bursary, whereby they would need to pay for their first examination on enrolment. For CertTF this would be one examination, for CertT this would be five examinations and so on for all the subsequent qualifications. Candidates may opt to take the partial bursary or to wait for the next application window.

Candidates will be contacted within two weeks of the application deadline and asked to attend a short, 15 minute meeting with an ACT member who will discuss the qualification the candidate is applying for and speak to them about what is involved in taking an ACT qualification. These meetings will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams and are informal and designed to ensure candidates have an opportunity to ask questions about the ACT bursary and qualifications. 

Candidates will be notified of the outcome of their application via email within four weeks of the application deadline.

EMPLOYMENT DECLARATION

Please complete the attached employment declaration form. If you are currently in employment, your line manager should complete Section A, confirming that company sponsorship is not available. If you are currently unemployed, we ask you to complete Section B. You will be asked to confirm that you are not studying for another qualification when you apply to ensure you are able to focus fully on the ACT's qualification.
