Registration deadlines (for centres who do not follow the Academic year, ie: roll on, roll off)
For programmes that do not follow the academic year (i.e. programmes where learners have enrolled between November and August), or for any programmes of less than one academic year in length, late registration fees will be charged six weeks after enrolment at 1.25 x fee for all qualifications (with the exception of BTEC Higher Nationals, for which late registration fees will be charged four weeks after enrolment at 1.25 x fee).
Pearson reserves the right to make additional quality assurance visits (at the customer’s cost), if the volume of late registrations is abnormally high.

Refunds of BTEC registration fees
Programmes that follow the academic year
The registration fee for a BTEC learner following an academic year registration will not normally be refunded if they withdraw from the programme unless the registration is deleted on or before 31 December 2024. In addition, any late fees incurred as part of this registration will not be refunded.
If we receive a request by 31 December 2024 to delete the registration, a refund of fees (as a credit note) will be issued.
You can process this deletion yourself on Edexcel Online on the Candidate Maintenance screen; submit a JCQ format EDI amendment file by 31 December. You can also request this in writing by submitting a case via our Support Portal.
Please note that we cannot refund registration fees if a learner has sat, or been marked absent for, any timetabled tests. If a learner has any pending test bookings, these must be withdrawn before a deletion request is made. Pending timetabled test bookings must be withdrawn by the high late fee date for a learner to be eligible for a refund.
Programmes that do not follow the academic year
Provided no units have been completed and no test bookings made, we will accept a request for deletion if we are notified via our Support Portal within two months of receiving the learner registration. For example, if a learner is registered on 1 March, we will accept a request for deletion up until 1 May. Please include the learner's name and registration number in the email.
N.B. Requests to delete learners can take 24 hours to complete; therefore, subsequent instructions for the same learners should not be added to Edexcel Online until 24 hours have passed.
