Before looking at this page, please read about the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë Post-qualifcation Application Advice Clinic and its eligibility criteria. This page sets out the arrangements and what you need for Zoom appointments (with webcam).
What will you need?
You will need a device that allows you to use a microphone and webcam.
We recommend that you use a desktop computer or a laptop, if possible. It is important that you test that the microphone and webcam work on the computer that you are planning to use in advance of your appointment, in case there are any issues that you need to resolve.
If you would like to install the Zoom application on your computer, please see installing Zoom.
Before your appointment
We recommend that you think in advance about where you will take the call.
- We would like you to be alone in the room. Is there a nice quiet place where you won't be disturbed?
- We would like you to use webcam, as it is a conversation and we need to be able to see you.
- It's not a requirement, but it can sometimes help to wear headphones.
We will send you an email stating the date and time of your 15 minute appointment slot. There's a timetable on the advice clinic page to give you some idea of when you should hear from us. Times will be given as , so if you're outside the UK, please remember to check carefully what the local time will be (the is useful).
