Known issues
Users occasionally report prolonged wait times for both phone and live chat support especially during peak periods like the start of a term or before graduation. It is advisable to call during off-peak hours or consider using email for less urgent inquiries. For appointment bookings, the availability often tightens at short notice, especially for popular services such as CV checks, so it's recommended to book well in advance. Alternatively, drop-in sessions may be available and can be a viable option for those with immediate needs. Additional staff are typically deployed during busy periods to help manage demand.
