- For those wanting help with exemptions, my guide pack is a great place to start! It's available to purchase online HERE, for instant download. If you need help deciding what resources to use, my manual on planning your programme will be of benefit. See HERE.
- For those who would like an exemption application review, please download the pdf document with everything you need to know HERE. When you send me your completed application, I will book your review as soon as possible. Currently that is typically in the week following. Eg if you send me an application to review on Weds, I will complete it in the following Mon-Fri, unless I have space earlier.
- For those who would like me to write an application, the information to get started is HERE. When you return the completed documents to me, I will queue up your application. My policy is to book this service in the order in which I have received required information and payment.
- For those who would like a phone consult, I have a several slots available each week which fill fast. Please use the form below to contact me and I will advise available times. Please include your phone number.
- If you have been asked for more information about an application by the Ministry, you have up to 4 weeks from the date of their request to respond before your application lapses. After you contact me I will ask you to send me your original application and all additional correspondence with the Ministry so far; once I review it I can explain the next steps. Meanwhile you may benefit from purchasing and reading my guide if you have not previously, to help you better understand application requirements.
