We recommend that practitioner applications are submitted by the practitioner using their own account. Once submitted the practitioner can share the application to allow colleagues to view the response. In order to access the application all users must have their own account.

Enter all your application information following the inline guidance.
Once you are happy with the application and you have included all the required attachments click Create.
You will not be able to submit your application until you have answered all of the questions.
If you make a mistake, please just let us know by adding a comment to your application, we will update your application for you.
Share your application
Use the Share button to add colleagues to your application. You will need to enter their email address in the box.
They will then also receive notifications about your application, see the application online in their portal and be able to respond to us about it.
Please do not forward email notifications to others as they will not be able to respond to us unless they have been added to the application.
Ask a question or provide us with further information
We will add a comment on the ticket if further information is required. You will receive a notification by email of any requests.
You can add a comment on the request at any time to contact the Support Unit about your application. You can also attach documents such as updated application forms or other supporting information as requested.
You can reply to the email notification you receive to respond to us. If you are the original recipient of the notification then your response will be automatically added to the application.
If you want to share notifications with colleagues, please add them to the application rather than forwarding the notification.
You do not need to copy in the ARSAC email address or email the ARSAC Support Unit directly outside of the system.
