Please note: We encourage users to minimise the amount of data provided in this section of the page. This is a search tool that will assist in locating registrations. The easiest way to locate your learner is with their unique registration number. If you need to find a candidate by name, we recommend using only 1 of the name fields. You can also use % as a wildcard to maximise your results.
Example
If you use Jo% in the first name field, your results will include names such as John, Joanne, Jodie, Joseph, etc. If you use Jo% in the last name field, your results will include names such as Jones, Johnson, Jordan, Joyce, etc.
6. The next stage in the process is to provide you with a list of learners who match the search criteria provided on the previous page. The following image is the result of searching by first name with Jo%. Once you have located the learner/s you would like to book, you will need to tick the relevant box and click 'Submit':
