If you enter someone else's details, please check they are happy for you to. If the candidate is under 18, we ask a parent or guardian to complete or join this application, and a parent or guardian takes part in the Diagnostic.

Introduced by an ECS family, school, private bank, family office or trusted adviser?

Independent endorser - not a client of ECS.

Is ECS the right fit?

A strong academic record, a serious interest in selective law, finance or consulting careers, and willingness to do the work.
A meaningful career decision or recruitment challenge, from the final school years through university and early career.
Readiness for a significant private engagement, with the funding decision-maker involved.

When another route is more appropriate

Private ECS is not suitable for a materially weak academic profile without exceptional offsetting evidence, university admissions applications, one-off CV edits or low-cost general advice. Candidates must undertake the work themselves; outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
