How do I pay for my listing?
If you’re posting a listing via our simple online process, you will be prompted to provide billing information so we can send your organisation an itemised invoice (you will not be prompted if your listing is free – ie events, voluntary positions). You can make your payment by credit card, cheque or BACS and we can also accept payments via paypal. To make life easier, we also save your billing details (Address etc.) so its quicker the next time you pay us a visit. We will not save any credit card or payment details.
What are codes and credits and how do they work?
Codes and credits have different uses; you may have received a code for promotional purposes meaning you have a free listing (wahoo). Promotional codes may also be a percentage off typical values (i.e 25% off our standard listing price). There will be a prompt to input any promotional codes through our simple online process. Easy.
Codes are also used to make life a little easier for our regular listers. For example, if your organisation would like to list 10 courses or jobs over a 12 month period, you can purchase a one off code. This will allow you to post listings as and when required using your unique code. One code, one bill = 10 listings. You’ll find this much easier than purchasing listings individually as and when they arise.
What should I do if I want my listing published on a specific date/time?
No Problem -There will be a prompt to input exactly what date and time you would like your listing to be published. Otherwise, the default publish day will be the same day you submit. You will receive an automated email to confirm your listing is live.
How long will it take for my listing to be approved?
During office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00AM – 17:00PM GMT) listings are usually published within two hours. However, this may be longer if you post listings on a weekend or bank holiday.
How can I edit my listing after it has been published?
You can edit any of your listings by clicking on ‘My Dashboard’ and then selecting ‘My listings’. Once you have finished editing your listing and submitted, your post will be sent through for approval (usually approved with normal office working hours – Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 17:00 GMT).
Can my listing be re-published once it has expired?
Of course. Simply re-list your post by clicking on the ‘relist’ button located in the ‘my listings’ section in ‘My Dashboard’. You will also have the opportunity to make any relevant amendments to the listing such as dates and deadlines.
When will my listing expire?
Paid: upto 45 days standard expiry time frame*
Voluntary: upto 365 days standard expiry time frame*
Overseas: 45 days standard expiry time frame*
Courses: upto 12 months*
