BTEC Tech Awards 2022: Creating Learner Registrations

Please ensure that, when making registrations for the new BTEC Tech Award (2022), you are using the correct registration codes. Unlike the legacy BTEC Tech Awards (2017), which had centre-specific programme codes, the new 2022 versions now have generic codes which are applicable to all approved centres:

The quickest and easiest way to register your learners is via EDI. You can use EDI basedata to transfer data between awarding bodies and centres. The most up to date version can be downloaded from our website.

Please also see A2C & EDI/Basedata Information And Support for further information.

Please follow the step-by-step process shown below to select the required programme and create learner registrations on Edexcel Online (EOL):

1. To sign in, please go to https://edexcelonline.pearson.com; you will be asked to enter your usual Edexcel Online credentials, and once you click sign in, a verification code will be sent to the Pearson Authenticator app.

For further information, including downloading the app to your mobile device and using it to complete the sign-in process. Please see Pearson Portal Authenticator for details.
