There are a few guidelines you should follow:
- find a quiet place to work in, sit at a table/desk and make sure you have plenty of time to fill it in
- read and carefully follow ALL the instructions
- ask for help if there is anything you don't understand
- practise on photocopies or blank paper
make sure your answers are neat and clear, with no errors - spelling or grammar- write out the actual form lightly in pencil first
- check you've completed all the relevant parts
- take a photocopy in case you get an interview
- send off the form in time for the closing dates
- think ‘ABC’ - Accurate, Brief and Clear
Forms require information such as personal details, education, qualifications, work experience and referees.
There is also usually a place for adding a further information/supporting statement - this is information to support your application, in other words, why they should choose you for the course or job.
Think about what they are looking for from applicants - the requirements of the course/job. Give examples of how you demonstrate the necessary interests, skills, experience, personal characteristics, etc.
Other modules in this program can help you to write your supporting statement, especially:
Educational course application forms will require details of previous courses of study.You may need to complete a form from a local college of further education or 6th form. When applying to university or higher education colleges, you may have to apply via a clearing house such as UCAS. These require very precise information. It is important to read the guidelines for completing these forms very carefully.
Many people can offer you help and advice - teachers, careers officers/advisers, training officers, friends and family.
