That is of course is what’s going live tomorrow

Where did you see the site was going live today? Search function not pulling up anything for me.

As previously said, it's a nuisance that they removed the course information as it used to be available all year, regardless of whether applications were open or not.

There will be increased interest this year so its very disappointing. Best of luck to all applying.

It says it in big writing on the site itself.

Do many people get these if working fulltime on decent enough salary. Love to do something this year as an interest as might not be much happening and if it can pad the CV it would be great

A few of my mates got them in recent years and only had to pay 10% but I can see that changing.

I only see that applications are open on the 25th, nothing about time or updating the course information.

I'm not applying this time around.

Website crashing? Can't even register

Yep, seems to be. Managed to get registered but looks like its getting hammered.

Amazing how this always seems to catch sites out, no prep for the inevitable surge in demand when it opens initially.

Are the applications based on the applicant's merit or is it just first come first served?

this type of courses are NOT first come first served ; it's based on merits!

And the schools won't close the application process, even if they have 10 times more applications than places : they have a way of filtering down the applications and pick the ones who really want and can learn new skills...

@offtopic : few people ( even on this forum ) thought that is a penneys opens at 10 , start Q-ing from 3 am type of thing

Don't believe this guy. He's trying to get everyone to log off.

Kidding!

Thought I dunno how it works and I'm not sitting here waiting anymore. Will try later.

They only said they hope to have it live at 10am and they haven't replied to the questions yet this morning, so it could be a few hours. Keep checking back and it should pop up eventually.

Edit:

They just said they are working on opening the application system and said it's going to be delayed.

They don't "sell out".
It's not first come first served.

Opened ten minutes ago but the site is getting hammered, it's not loading at all.

djan

Tried to register but it came up with an error and now trying to log in it says account not verified check email. There hasn't been an email for the past hour or so. Anyone else experiencing this?

CBear1993

jeepers the traffic must be mad - I remember logging on last summer in august and most you could still apply to?

Maybe it's with the current job losses, or else people are sensing an impending recession.

I tried it on internet explorer and chrome, both crashing

Site keeps crashing. It's unusable at the moment.

just gonna share my 2 cents ,if they cant create a proper website that able to serve , why bother applying trough any of it ?

There is lack of resources or grey material to make this springboard website going, therefore anything is related to it is kind of obsolete.

Now lets say you got in and got your degree and your dream job with 100 k or more, you still just an homo sapiens with money and a job.

Congratulations You have Survived, whats is next ?

I would say you find more full filing life style away from all these super courses , educated people.

Good luck finding your ways

CBear1993

Even when the page does load, it's still only giving the option of download SB 2020 list on an excel file?? is this the same for others?

The search function or drop downs for colleges etc aren't working for me yet.

I spoke to them last week. It's not first come, first served. There's a deadline for applications and all submitted will get reviewed.

I've done 2 Springboard courses now and they are brilliant in my opinion, nothing to do with jobs or careers advancement but as a hobby, you can spend your evenings watching Netflix or whatever you want, personally I did evening courses online and loved every second of them, forgetting about the extra letters after my name or pieces of paper in the post, you get to meet people with similar interests as you have and it is quite a sociable thing.
