Apply online for your chosen career. For your application, you’ll need:

• A cover letter
• A CV
• A colour photo of yourself
• The results of the placement test (e.g. Multi-Check, Basic-Check, etc.)
• Copies of your school reports from the last four semesters
• If available: taster apprenticeship evaluations, references of employment or attestations of employment.

In addition to the content, you can also create a good impression through the layout of your documents. Bear in mind the following points:

• Your documents should be appealing and put together carefully. Make sure they are clear and well structured.
• Keep your cover letter short and to the point.
• Ensure that it’s complete and that the spelling and grammar are correct.
• Ask someone to review your application documents one last time before you send them off.
