Frequently asked
questions
Will I get a notification when applications open?
Please sign up to this mailing list if you would like to be alerted when applications are open. Once you have entered your details, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. If you haven’t received one, please check your junk folder. An email will then be sent to you on the day applications open. Please note that we don’t alert prospective applicants individually, we only send out one alert to those on the mailing list.
Is it possible to apply in a different format?
Absolutely, if, for any reason, you need to make your application in a different format e.g. offline, in word or explained in British Sign Language (BSL) through an interpreter, then please contact us. If you require assistance in this or completing the application form, don’t hesitate to let us know.
How fixed is the eligibility criteria?
It is important to read the programme criteria carefully. The general and specific programme criteria will be on the designated programme page. You should only apply for your programme or course if you meet both the general criteria and the specific criteria of any funding/bursaries attached to the programme or course you are applying for.
If I don’t get a place will I receive feedback on my application?
Unfortunately no. Places on Clore Leadership courses are extremely competitive, and due to the large number of applications we receive, as a small team, we regret we are not able to provide individual feedback.
Can I apply now and defer my place to a later course?
No. It is not possible to apply now with the intention of deferring your place to a later course. If you are not able to attend the course for which you are successful, your place will be offered to someone on the waiting list
