How can I get an Enhanced DBS Check?

As a tutor for PMT Education, you can apply for an enhanced DBS check through our partnership with Personnel Checks.

To apply for an enhanced DBS check, go to the drop-down menu of your dashboard and select ‘Apply for DBS’. This will take you to our DBS landing page, where you can see how the application process will work. From here, you’ll be able to access Personnel Checks’ applicant portal just for PMT Education tutors.

Once you’ve paid for and submitted your application, you should receive the paper copy of your DBS in the post around 10 days later, although it can take longer during busy periods.

Once you’ve received your DBS certificate, follow these steps so we can verify it for you:

1. Go to your dashboard and select ‘Edit Profile’ from the drop-down menu.

2. Upload a clear photograph or scan of your DBS certificate.

3. Fill in the corresponding details as requested.

Once submitted, we’ll receive a notification and verify your certificate. After verification, your DBS badge will automatically appear on your profile.

On our platform, from 1st December, an Enhanced DBS Check is valid for two years from its issue date. After this period, you will need to obtain a new Enhanced DBS Check to continue tutoring with us.

To avoid reapplying for a new DBS Check every two years, you can subscribe to the government’s DBS Update Service. This service allows individuals to check your DBS status online with your permission.

Important: If you wish to subscribe to the Update Service, you must do so within 30 days of your DBS certificate’s issue date.
