Registering Learners 


What is registration?

  • Registration is the process that enters a learner for a particular BTEC programme with Edexcel.

Why is it important?

  • All BTEC learners must be registered in order to claim certificates successfully.
  • Registering learners alerts Edexcel to the existence of a cohort and kick-starts the quality assurance process, including allocation of a Standards Verifier.

How does it work?

  • You can register learners directly via Edexcel Online.
  • You can also upload learner data from management information systems via tools such as EDL.
  • Fees are payable at the point of registration. They differ according to the size and level of a programme.
  • Additional late registration fees are applicable if the registration deadlines are not met.

When is it done?

  • For programmes following the standard academic year (that is, September to June), registration deadlines are as follows: 
    • Entry Level to Level 3 - 1 November
    • Higher Nationals and FAD - 15 November
    • Higher Education Licence centres - 15 December.
  • For roll-on, roll-off short courses or programmes not following the standard academic year, registration must be within one month of starting the programme.
  • Registrations last for five years, or until certificates are claimed.
  • Learners can be transferred, withdrawn or reinstated easily via Edexcel Online.

Who is responsible?

  • The Exams Officer in your centre will have full administration access to Edexcel Online and will be responsible for registering learners.
  • Programme Managers should ensure that registration lists are accurate.
  • There should be an agreed registration procedure for all BTEC programmes in the centre.
  • The Quality Nominee should monitor the procedure to ensure that registrations are accurate and up to date.
