Referral Process

Upon referral you will be asked to attend a short informal interview at our premises in Redhill where you can assess if Travel Matters is right for you and where we can assess if our training will be of benefit to you.You will also be asked to complete an application form and a short level-test will be arranged with an ECDL trainer to establish your current IT experience and skill levels.

Upon receipt of your completed application form , if successful, you will be offered a training session on your preferred day/s depending upon availability.

Currently the ECDL sessions are run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in am and pm sessions. The sessions last for 2hrs 15 minutes with a 15 minute break period.

Normally you would expect to have a response within 3-5 working days of your interview, with a proposed start date within 14 days of the offer subject to availability.

Please note that the training at Travel Matters is carried out in a supportive environment and that the application procedure is nothing to be concerned or apprehensive about.
