There's no registration deadline for key skills, so you don't need to register your candidates until you're ready to make an entry for them. However, all candidates must be registered before or at the time of making an entry.

You can register candidates using:

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

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 we don't charge for portfolio and proxy entries.

A candidate must only be registered once. To prevent duplicate registration numbers from being generated, please ensure that all candidates’ details are entered exactly the same as they were when the candidates were initially registered with us.

You can find out more about the registration methods for key skills by referring to chapter 22, section 2 of the information manual, and also the Vocational Registration chapter. 

Both chapters are available below if you prefer to view them online.
