What we do with your application

What happens next?

When we receive your completed application we process it and send you a paper Welcome letter by post with a booklet called Your GTTR Welcome Guide, which explains the remainder of the applications process. The Welcome letter contains your Personal ID and username for Track and a list of your choices. We ask you to check the information carefully and let us know immediately if it is not correct by calling our Customer Service Unit.

If you live in the UK, you should receive your Welcome letter in the post within seven days of sending your application to us. If you live outside the UK, you should receive your Welcome letter in the post within 14 days of sending your application to us. If you do not receive this letter within the applicable time period, you need to call our Customer Service Unit on 0871 468 0 469 (or 0044 871 468 0 469 from outside the UK) open Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 18:00 (UK time).

If you do not receive the booklet Your GTTR Welcome Guide with your Welcome letter, you can download a PDF of this publication.

Your Welcome letter also tells you the training provider to which we have sent your application for consideration. We send applications online to one training provider at a time in your order of preference. The training provider will consider your application and decide whether or not to invite you for interview. After interview they will decide whether or not to offer you a place. If you receive an offer, you must reply through the GTTR.

If you accept a place, we will not send your application to any other training providers. If your application to a training provider is unsuccessful or you turn down an offer of a place, we will send your application to your next highest choice that has vacancies.

If you do not have a place and you have no further choices, you will be able to apply to other training providers. How you do this depends on the stage of the application cycle. Making changes, Extra and Clearing provide more information.

Track the progress of your application

You will be able to view your application and follow its progress online using the Track service. To access Track you will need your Personal ID and the username on your Welcome letter, as well as the password you used to make your application.

If you cannot remember your Personal ID, username and/or password, you can obtain this information by clicking on 'Forgot login details?' on the Track login screen.
