MITAC Partnership Ltd CAP Providers MITAC Partnership Ltd Cobalt Business Exchange Silverlink Wallsend Tyne & Wear NE28 9NZ Telephone 0191 280 4184 General Introduction MITAC has developed six area wide prospectuses - five include a Common Application Process (CAP) module. Learners log in to create a Profile which when combined with saved course choices, provides the content for an online application. Learners and their online profiles and applications are managed by co- ordinators, tutors and Connexions PAs in schools using our Admin program. This program allows all partners to monitor, track and where necessary intervene to ensure transition. It also collects stats. Providers and other partners are notified on application and can choose to respond using the Manager program or download applications data to process in their own MIS. >

An area-wide prospectus aims to provide independent online course advice and related information for 14-19 year olds. Allowing learners to login enables a profile to be created. When this profile is added to courses collected from the prospectus, an online application can be generated. Because the same process can be used in all schools the title Common Application Process or CAP or eCAP has been applied. Providers are notified when an online application is made so they can respond as appropriate.
