AQA successful applicants??

I applied for this last week & didn't get accepted. I'm absolutely gutted as it would have been absolutely perfect for my current situation. I could probably do it for at least 20 hours a week too!

Does anyone know if you can apply again? I'm 99.9% sure I got all the questions right, so I'm really not sure why I didn't get accepted.

Like most the guys above have said, most the time you don't get accepted it's because of spelling & grammar. I was sure i had answered everything perfectly, but then when someone else checked over my answers for me (after i had received a rejection) i realised i hadn't answered the questions quite so well after all.

You can apply again, but i'm not sure whether they're still looking to recruit UK employees.

I'm terrytibbs wife, and I applied to AQA for the first time last week and found out today I didn't get accepted bit gutted as I thought I had answered the questions quite well - I was also surprised when someone I know told me they didn't answer all their questions but still got accepted.

I want to re-apply so fingers crossed.

Hiya everyone. I just want to thank everyone for posting on this board as I have just found out that I have been accepted. :T


I applied a couple of weeks ago and received a rejection email. I re-applied last week and received an email today saying I got in. So please don't give up if you get rejected at first!

Well i guess i'll add me to the list.
I've just popped them an e-mail asking for an application, So i'm right at the beginning of the application process.
I appreciate that it's going to take a while to get a reply but i don't mind that,I have a 9-5 job and plenty to keep me going in the (inevitably) nervous time it's going to take to receive the application pack.

Best of luck misspixie!
At least you know roughly how long it'll take now, thats half the issue really.
You can slice some more pie in the mean time

Well I got rejected late last week, so had a bit of a sulk then on sunday sent off for another application, heard today that I passed hurrah!

It couldn't come at a better time, have been off work ill for 4 months and even when I go back will only be able to go back part time(and me being the main breadwinner that is not a good thing) so I can top up my income a bit with this.

Won't be anywhere near what I was earnig before but should be able to keep our heads above water.:j
Thank you all for listening tomy moaning about my last test was a bit stressed out.

Does anyone know is self employed work counts towards the 30 hours a week for tax credits purposes?
Also I have no printer just now, do you think a digital photo of my signature on for the contract would work?:beer:

I'm doing mine as i type eeeek
I need to check my spg and then will send it off but i'm nervous eeeee

Congratulations sparklewing!

I'm not sure about the self-employment question - I've only just got into it so I need to find this out myself.
As for the contract - I myself took a photo of my signature and added that in to the contract. However, I photoshopped the area around it so it looked whiter than the slighly gray paper colour you get when you take a photo. I just upped the brightness and contrast

In other news - I am quite worried about my first review, are they really very strict?
