How to submit a nomination
Please read through the following guidance carefully.
The awards nominations process is online.
Nominations should be submitted online by the nominator.
There are four different online nomination forms for:
- Individual learners
- Tutors
- Learning provision
- Employers
The online nomination form needs to be completed in one sitting. You cannot save a partially completed nomination form and return to it later. Therefore, we strongly advise you to prepare and draft your nomination using this document in advance.
It is possible to submit multiple nominations. Once one nomination has been completed and submitted online, you will be able to begin the form again to start a new nomination.
Nominations for learning provisions will need to include a written statement from at least
one learner. It is the nominator’s responsibility to explain the process to the learner and obtain the relevant written statement for inclusion in the nomination.
