Tell us about the professional experience that shows you can meet the standards of proficiency
In this section you'll upload accounts of experiences in a professional context that show us how you can meet the standards of proficiency.
Professional experience
Each account in your professional experience section should be an accurate representation of an experience you've had. They should be written in your own words. You must not use AI or content from other sources.
You should provide as much detail as possible within the limit of 20,000 characters. You must provide at least one example in this section.
Supporting references
In addition to this information, you must provide references in support of your application. They should be written by someone who has been your supervisor, or otherwise responsible for you in a professional capacity.
Referees and verification
To accompany the information you upload, you'll need to provide us with the contact details of an individual at that organisation who is able to confirm the information you have given. You must provide their professional contact details.
The person will be your 'professional referee'. We'll ask them to verify the information you've provided.
If we do not receive a response from them, or are unable to verify your information with them, we will email you to request alternative contact details.
Contact email addresses for verification
We cannot accept unofficial or personal email addresses for professional referees. The email address you provide must use the official domain of their organisation, rather than an unofficial domain such as Gmail or Hotmail.
If the workplace has no official web domain, we need to see that it is clearly linked to the organisation and independently verify this. For example, this would be verifiable if a Gmail address is given on a website owned by your workplace, which we can access.
If we are unable to validate the email address, we’ll contact you to let you know and request alternative contact details to complete our verification check.
Tips for providing professional experience
Don't use AI or content from other sources
You must not use AI tools, AI content or content from other sources.
- AI tools are those that write, paraphrase, enhance or otherwise generate your response. This includes grammar checking.
- Content from other sources includes text from job descriptions, employer documentation, third-party sources, AI or other applications.
Any material that is not your own and is presented as such will be subject to investigation. Read more about plagiarism and AI checks.
Provide information in chronological order
The information should be provided in chronological order, with your most recent experience first.
