What is pre-registration?
Pre-registration is an optional step that lets you submit your personal details while your training plan is still being prepared — so there's less to do once you're ready to enrol.
What it is
After you've requested a training plan, there's typically a few days while we put your schedule together. Pre-registration is a way to use that time productively by getting your enrolment details into our system early.
It's entirely optional. If you'd prefer to wait until you've seen your plan before submitting any information, that's completely fine — nothing is lost by skipping it. Pre-registration just removes a step from the process when it comes to the day you decide to enrol.
Submitting your details at this stage doesn't mean you've decided to enrol. It just means your information will be on file when you're ready to proceed.
What it covers
Pre-registration collects the personal details needed for CAA student registration and your training file. These are the same details you'd provide at enrolment — pre-registration just means you can do it now, in your own time, rather than at the point of signing up.
When to pre-register
The best time to pre-register is after you've submitted your training plan request and are reasonably confident you're going to proceed. You don't need to have seen your plan yet — you're not committing to anything — but it makes most sense once you've decided you want to train with us.
If you pre-register and then decide not to enrol, your details simply aren't used. There's no account created and no charge applied.
If you'd rather wait until you've approved your training plan before submitting any information, skip it. The enrolment process covers everything pre-registration does — it just means handling it all in one step rather than two.
