Thank goodness! Wow can't believe I lodged in time! For everyone that has uploaded their documents themselves, can you do upload as many times as you want, or do you have to upload everything at once? And does everthing have to be certified before you scan it? Also when for payslips did you scan each individual payslip or just your P60's? Sorry questions questions! I'm driving my son insane at the moment with excitement! Kelly

Just lodged application! Slightly worried as I couldn't see it say anywhere about uploading the documents in 28 days????

Thanks for the advice! Just waiting up for them to begin their day in order find out the reference number etc for skills assesment and then I am going to apply online and worry afterwards about uploading all the documents! Fingers crossed! Talk about cutting it fine!

Hi guys I hope you don't mind me crashing your thread! I'm so pleased I logged on and saw all this! I thought it was all over for me but today I received an email confirming I have accreditation as a radiographer but have the same problem - I have to now wait for it to arrive in the post. Can someone just confirm for me - do you fill in the form, pay the fee (anyone know how much this is?) and then you have 28 days to upload everything? Even though this date will be past 1st July? Sorry if I'm being thick or if this has already asked! Kelly

Hi guys! Have seen people mention a few times now about getting new passports! Is there something I'm missing? Is this a visa requirement? Thanks in advance!

Great! Thanks!

TelbOi have you had your accrediation from AIR yet?Just wondering if you have as I have been waiting ages for mine to be processed!

Hi! Glad you asked that as I was wondering the same thing! If you are doing an online application and scanning the documents to the computer do they still have to be certified copies? Or is that only if you are sending your application by post?

Hi guys! Tosh what a fabulous post! It would have helped me a great deal. I sat the academic test twice as I needed all 8.0s to get more points and the first time I got 7.5 in the writing part. Although it was expensive to do a second time I do think I was calmer as I knew what to expect. It is definately alot harder than I was expecting! I struggled with the reading - it definately gets harder and more detailed throughout and the time pressure doesn't help! I would advise that when you sit the test try and stay calm and take the time to at least skim the text all the way through and try to identify trends. I did this and using pencil highlighted bits, dates and names etc so that I could find them quicker when it came to answering the questions. If you are running out of time and are stuck do not leave any answers blank - just guess! For the writing exam each time I had a graph to interpret and then a question. There were more marks for question two than for one so spend more time on the second one. I really panicked with this as I am not good when under time pressure so I babbled in random order for these and took absolutely no time to structure my answers. The second test I sat I was more prepared and tackled it like an essay with a start, middle and end and justified everything I said and I'm sure thats what got me the extra half a mark! The question was about my opinion on businesses / companies moving from built up cities to more residential areas. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision? The question on my first test was about e learning and whether that is replacing the physical teacher student experience. It asked to reflect on your own experiences. I had a long wait between these tests and the speaking exam each time which was a pain as you have more time to get nervous. They give nothing away at all during the test and some of the questions made me giggle throughout! I was asked what my opinion was on birds! And whether they had a specical meaning to my culture! They always ask a question that will get you speaking for a while - each time they gave it to me written on a piece of paper and I was told to think for a minute before replying. The question in my first test was to talk about a song / piece of music that is important to me. In the second I was asked to speak about an experience that sticks out in my head to do with the weather! I would practice practice practice. A minute or two is actually a long time to speak about something when you are put on the spot! Hope that might help someone! Good luck!
