CANDIDATE REGISTRATION FOR CE EXAMS

The new registration system enables schools to only have one account, the ISEB School Account, to order past CE and CASE papers from the online shop and to register candidates for CE, CASE, and the iPQ. In time, we’ll be adding lots more functionality and resources to the Schools Hub too.

You need the same information that you needed to register candidates previously. This includes information about your school and yourself, and information about the candidates you are registering.

About you and your school:

• Your name
• Your job title
• Your school’s name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your purchase order number/reference
• The exam session you are registering candidates into.

About each candidate:

• First name
• Last name
• Full name to be printed on the certificate
• Date of birth
• Name of ‘marking school’ (or ‘internal marking’)
• Subject options

Note: the way candidate information is submitted has changed. You are no longer be required to enter candidates into a form one by one. Instead, you will add all of your candidates to a Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheet provided by us, and upload once, whenever you are ready.

You will also no longer be required to use the letter codes for CE subjects.

To register candidates for CE, schools will need to first populate a Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheet. The template for each spreadsheet will be provided by ISEB in .Excel format.

Instead of entering candidates in to an online form one by one, schools can now simply populate the relevant upload spreadsheet with the information for each candidate. This can be done in your own time, allowing you to build it up over time and review the information within it. You can submit your spreadsheet whenever you are ready, as long as it is before the relevant deadline.

Please note that the spreadsheet must be saved as a .CSV file for uploading through the online registration forms.

Each candidate is entered into the Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheets on a separate line.

Read our support article on how to populate the new Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheets, and prepare them for upload via the new online registration forms.

Please enter the candidate’s first name and last name, as well as their preferred full name for their ISEB CE certificate. Please enter this in sentence case i.e. James Smith, and please check spelling and punctuation carefully as the names on the certificates will appear as entered into the spreadsheet.

Please select the candidate’s Destination School and Marking School from the options in the drop-down lists. These are usually the same. The Marking School is the senior school to which the marking packs will be sent.

We advise that you do not upload your Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheet until you have full information for all candidates. If you would like to upload your completed template and still have some candidates without confirmed destination or marking schools, please select ‘Internal Marking’. You will be able to change this later if necessary.

Finally, please select the subjects each candidate will take using the drop-down options provided. You no longer need to use the old subject codes.

Support and guidance is available on our new CE Support Portal. Here you will find a range of helpful articles and FAQs, and you can also submit an enquiry via the online ticket submission form.

The new candidate registration system has been designed so that schools can use the same account for registering candidates for CE exams and ordering past CE papers.

It means that all CE administration is done in one place, and records of registrations and orders can be seen in the same account dashboard.

ISEB School Accounts put schools in control – they have been designed to allow schools to add and edit users directly. Each account has one or more Admins, who can add users and set user roles and permissions. Each user on the account has their own login, using their own email address and password for added security.

Once a school has submitted a candidate registration, a copy of the .CSV file submitted, as well as a PDF summary of the information submitted, will become available in the school’s ISEB School Account dashboard. These can be downloaded from the dashboard.
