Almost every problem is a money problem
The CAS is issued, the place is confirmed, and then the application fails on funds. Not because the money was not there, but because of how long it had been there, whose account it sat in, or where it came from. The financial rules on this route are unusually mechanical, and they are unforgiving of a good reason.
What we check
The CAS details and that the course itself qualifies. The funds: the amount required for your circumstances, the 28-day rule, and whether the account and the account holder are acceptable. Whether the provenance of the money will withstand scrutiny — a transfer from a relative is fine, but it has to be evidenced as what it is. And dependant eligibility, which has narrowed and is no longer what many people were told.
What we do
We give you a funds evidence plan early enough to act on, because the 28-day requirement cannot be fixed retrospectively — it is the one part of this route where advice a month before is worth more than advice a week before. We complete and submit the application, and where a credibility interview is likely, we run a mock interview and give you honest feedback on it.
