This can include your name, phone number, your email address if you give one, what you studied, where you are in your studies or career, and any question you ask. For college requests, it also includes the college name, the number of students and a preferred time. We also note which page the form was on and, if you came from an ad or another website, which one.

If you give your email address, we send you one email to confirm we have your details. We do not add you to a mailing list.

After your details are saved, you can also choose to open WhatsApp with the same message already typed. We only receive that WhatsApp message if you press send.

If you call us, email us or visit the centre, we note down what you tell us, such as your name, phone number, qualification and the course you are interested in, so we can follow up.
