I think this message from flexisaf means the second email is the one to follow.

However, It will be good for Flexisaf to confirm.

A friend's own didn't change. I've made plans around 24th already. �

Hello flexisafsupport,

Please is there any updated information from ptdf on the results of MSc exams? Is the list coming out same time with phd list?
some us who would be fortunate to get the scholarship will need to apply for Academic Training Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate, which takes about 20 days to process. Afterwards, we would need to apply for Confirmation of Acceptance (CAS), which may take two weeks. It's after these that we can think of processing Visa. However, some of us have start dates in first Week of September.
Please do as much as you can to help. We appreciate your support.
Kind regards,

my brother you are absolutely correct and have spoken the mind of many in this forum. Given that ptdf did not start this year's process on time, effort should be geared towards releasing the results before July ending because ATAS takes 20 to 30 working days from the mails send to us by us schools with the warning that the number of days increases from April to September due to traffic and no jumping of protocols. please flexisafsupport, help us convey our challenges to ptdf management. Unless they have a method of by-passing these process and secure visas for the successful ones.

But you don't need scholarship to apply for ATAS. Why not go ahead to fill out the application in hope of ptdf scholarship? Or has things changed?

My brother what do you think will happen to your application if after submitting your two referees and PTDF as your source of funding and they contact ptdf and the said they have not released any award for 2017/2018. Or do you think they just process your ATAS application without contacting your referees and your source of funding?

I did my master in UK with ptdf in 2011. I got ATAS way before PTDF released their result. Which references are they verifying? Ain't they your lecturers. UK even the Queen knows PTDF. Don't worry, they won't be in doubt of your funding.

Maybe I should tell you the essence of ATAS. UK wants to know every candidate that is coming to study discipline that would involves the production of weapons of mass destruction. So what is most important is the course by course listing on your application. Once your course is cleared, you are good

Those who require ATAS Certificate should apply for it now if u want to go for September admission.

You don't need scholarship to apply for ATAS as it is free. You will need to submit your ATAS Certificate along with your documents during Visa interview.

The successful scholars name will be out after the PhD interview is sorted.

Don't think so. Each candidate has like 5 mins or there about. Think about setting up PowerPoint presentation, the time you will use in setting that up maybe 3 to 5mins, then consider the number of candidates to be interviewed. Focus on ur research, mostly all the question will come from there. The interviews are very vast. Nothing to worry about just know ur research very well and just talk what u know.
