Asset Managers To view Quests online you must register for free Access Codes via the Manager Access page. Once you have registered for your Access Codes we will notify you every time a new Quest is placed live. You can then search through the Quests and view the online Application Forms at no cost. In order to submit an Application Form you must buy a minimum of 10 "credits" where one credit = one application (10 credits cost £800). Credits can be ordered and are allocated automatically using your Access Codes via the Manager Access page. A confirmation of this transaction will be emailed to you and an invoice sent at the end of the same month. One credit is deducted from your account each time you submit an Application Form. After submitting an Application Form the applicant is sent a confirmation of the transaction including a transcript of the questions and your answers to them. Please note that you are applying for each Quest "blind". You will only discover the name of the institution if they decide to contact you following receipt of your application.
