Our top tips for Face-Ed are as follows:

• As Face-Ed is cloud based, it is possible for you to experience a break in connection and you won't necessarily know about it straight away. Therefore, we strongly recommend preparing your main application content in a different package, such as MS Word/Notepad, then to copy and paste it into your Face-Ed application form.
• If you get a message saying "Validation Error" you may have entered data in an unexpected format, such as entering words in a box that expects numbers.
