There is no registration deadline for key skills and you are not required to register your candidates until you are ready to make an entry for them. However, all candidates must be registered before or at the time of making an entry.

Centres may register candidates by using:

• EDI
• Edexcel Online
• Spreadsheet (uploaded on Edexcel Online)

The process of registration is free for key skills candidates. Fees will be charged when test entries are made and when portfolio or proxy claims are made. Please note that no charges are made for portfolio and proxy entries.

A candidate must only be registered once. To prevent the generation of duplicate registration numbers, centres must ensure that all candidates’ details are entered exactly the same as they were upon initial candidate registration with Edexcel.

You can find out more about the registration methods for key skills by referring to chapter 17, section 2 (p443 onwards) of the information manual.
