  • These should be provided by your tutor, distance learning provider or via the exam board websites. Please check any options carefully. We cannot be held responsible for mistakes made on the registration form.

  • A UCI (Unique Candidate Identifier) is a 12-digit number, followed by a letter. If you have previously taken an exam your UCI number will be shown on your Statement of Entry from the exam board and also on any results slips or certificates. If you have never taken an exam before then a UCI can be generated for you at our centre.

  • A ULN (Unique Learner Number) is a 10-digit number and can be found on your Statement of Entry from the exam board and also on any results slips or certificates. ULNs are NOT compulsory for private exam candidates.
