Pure Potential - Where will your talent take you?

FAQs

1. I am a student and would like to book a place at an event in 2008, how do I do this?
   All our 2008 events for this summer have already taken place and they were really successful! If you would like to attend oneof our 2009 events then click here to register so that you will be one of the first to know when bookings open!
2. I am a teacher and would like to make a group booking for several students. Is this possible?
   Each student is required to register individually. However, if you would like to reserve places for your students at one of Pure Potential’s free summer events, then please phone Sibyl on 020 7408 7279 or email sibyl@purepotential.org who will keep you updated about student registration.
3. Why are students required to register and apply individually online?
   Individual registration is required to ensure that all students are fully able to access and utilise all the free online services which Pure Potential provides, from interview questions, LNAT, BMAT tests, student finance advice, to a forum and chat room. Pure Potential also requires each student to register with their contact details so that reminders, logistics, updates, feedback, follow up information, work experience and future employment opportunities can be sent to students individually. Pure Potential strives to gauge student opinion, knowledge and understanding of current educational topics, such as student finance, which is achieved through a series of online questions and quiz.
4. Do teachers have to accompany students to the events?
   No, students can attend independently, but you are more than welcome to attend an event if you would like to.
5. I am a member of staff accompanying students to an event, do I need to book a place?
   No, it is not necessary for teachers to book a place at our events, but please contact sibyl@purepotential.org with the number of staff attending so that we can ensure that we have made arrangements for yourself and colleagues. Teachers are welcome to attend events with their students, but please note that this is not required.
6. Are travel expenses paid?
   No, we do not provide travel expenses as this enables our events to remain completely free of charge.
7. What should I bring with me?
   Bring along a pad of paper and pen so that you can take notes at the event.
8. Is there a dress code?
   No, there is no dress code, so please dress as you consider appropriate and feel comfortable in.
9. Why are some fields in the event booking form mandatory?
   Please note that all information is for monitoring purposes only, it will remain completely anonymous and will not be used in the selection process. Pure Potential has sought advice from Higher Education organisations and advisory boards who have suggested that some questions must be asked in order to ascertain factors involved in higher education decisions. From this anonymous information collected Pure Potential hopes to help as many students as possible with their higher education needs.
10. Event timings?
    Events begin at 9am and the day finishes at 1.50pm, unless you are attending the optional campus tour, in which case your day will end at 3.45pm.
11. Can I bring a friend?
    To attend an event you must have booked a place at a Pure Potential event. However if you would like your friend to attend, then please encourage them to book prior to the event online.
12. Can my parents come?
    Many students attending events will be coming on their own, so we feel that it is easier to get to know each other if your parents do not attend an event.
13. Can I come to more than one event?
    No, you will not need to come to more than one event as you will receive all the information you require from one event.
14. I haven't received a ticket or any details - what will happen next?
    When you book an event you will receive a confirmation email. Nearer the time of the event you will be contacted via email and text, and all information required will be available on the website.
15. Should I bring a packed lunch?
    Yes. Lunch is not provided, although food will be available to purchase at the university campus.
