Entries
Planning and preparing for exams will help you deliver an exams session that runs as smoothly as possible
Students need an entry for each subject they wish to gain a qualification for, which triggers us sending you the right number of question papers. Entries can be made via our secure extranet, Centre Services, or via your centre’s Management Information System (MIS) by EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) file. To make entries, you’ll need:
- basedata, if using EDI – this contains key exam information such as entry codes, exam dates and times, and exam durations. You can download basedata from our ’Make entries with EDI and basedata’ web page
- student information such as legal name, date of birth, gender, candidate number, UCI number and ULN, which can be found in your centre’s MIS. If a learner moves from another centre to yours, they will need to use their original UCI number which can be obtained from the learner’s original centre
Our Entries page has all the information you will need to make your entries. You’ll also find the correct entry code book, fees, how to make amendments and many other useful sections to familiarise yourself with the process.
