onDesk One
Most students don’t fall behind in a stage. They fall behind between stages.
onDesk One means one person is always watching the next deadline, from Year 12 to the first offer: our Head of Advisory, 20 sessions a year, WhatsApp access, and a full written report for parents every month.

Want one stage only? Compare the four programmes
The hardest part isn’t any one stage. It’s the gaps between them.
UCAS deadline. Then a new start at university.
Spring week applications open, weeks after arriving.
Internship applications open, often before spring week results are in.
With one programme at a time, every handover is a fresh start, and most families start the next one late. With onDesk One, the next deadline is already in the plan.
More time, faster answers, one lead
Everything in the onDesk standard, with more sessions, unlimited reviews and direct access to the person who signs off every plan.
One named lead, from Year 12 to the first offer.
A Desk-Ready Score every term.
A full written report for parents every month.
| Feature | One programme | onDesk One |
|---|---|---|
| Stages | One stage | Every stage, sixth form to first job |
| Sessions | 6 to 10 per programme | 20 a year |
| Document reviews | Two a month, within 48 hours | Unlimited, within 48 hours |

A superday is the final round at a bank: several interviews on one day. A practitioner is an advisor who has worked or interned at a top firm.
If you attend your sessions, complete your set tasks and apply to your agreed list by the deadlines, and the cycle does not land, your plan, portal and support continue into the next cycle. Full refund if you cancel before coaching starts. Your statutory rights are not affected.
The same person at every offer
Each year has its own offer to prepare for. With onDesk One, the plan, the documents and the person carry over, so nothing starts from zero.
Route, personal statement, CV and a first experience.
Target list, bank-standard CV, tests and first interviews.
Networking, technical and case interviews, mock superday.
Converting the internship, or a final cycle done well.
Progress is measured on the Desk-Ready Framework: six strands, scored 1 to 5 at the start, mid-point and end of each stage.
