Steps to going digital
Once has the cardholders application has been approved you can now download the app and start your digital journey with SKILLcard. You can not apply for a SKILLcard through the app, you must apply here via the website before following the next steps...
Step One
Cardholder receives their ‘Your card is on its way’ email – if they have selected digital and physical the wording ‘Your physical card is being processed and will be posted shortly’
The cardholder will need their SKILLcard number when registering for your Digital SKILLcard
Step Two
If the cardholders employer has applied for a SKILLcard on your behalf, a second email goes to the employer to confirm the card is being issued.
Step Three
Note: Do not allow any of these fields to autofill as this can cause issues.
- Surname
- National Insurance Number, make sure you don’t put spaces in National Insurance
- Date of Birth, please select from a date selector if registering on a phone
- SKILLcard number e.g. 5259774 – no. is on the ‘your card is on its way’ email
Tick and press Submit
Cardholders can register using their laptop or phone and open the email to follow the same steps. Then once registered download the app on their phone.
Step Four
The next screen should show the cardholders email address and two password boxes to create and confirm their password. Passwords must be minimum 8 characters and contain each of the following characters: upper case (A-Z), lower case (a-z), a number (0-9) and a special character (e.g. #?!@$%^&*-)
If only 1 password box shows this means you have already registered when applying for your card on the SKILLcard website application process. You should use the same password you used for your application.
If a card holder knows there is no signal on-site they should open the app showing their card before going to site and then the app has been made to still show with no signal (just don’t log-out of the app).
When registering for the app.
Once you have created your password press create account to submit.
NOTE – if the email address which is in this box is already registered on the website (so they did the application under this email) – then you would only have one password box which would expect them to enter the password already created on the website to complete the registration process.
