3 months is a guide so that students do not leave their job search until last minute. Nothing will happen immediately if you do not manage to secure a job within 3 months but you risk falling behind with your coursework – the eRoE – as you need to be working to be able to start completing it. And the consequence of not having your eRoE completed before the deadline (deadlines for SmileWisdom Students can be checked with Emma Davis: emma.davis@smilewisdom.co.uk and for Learndirect Students with Rechia De Kock: Rechia.De.Kock@learndirect.com) might mean that you will not be able to sit your planned exam, and will incur further fees and/or you will need to stay on the course for longer than planned. Therefore, we encourage Students to start looking for jobs as soon as they enrol, and ideally start working within 3 months of starting the course, in order not to miss any important deadlines.
