Late fees explained

If you are experiencing a 'Your centre is blocked' error message when making entries, please ensure that any outstanding invoices are paid, and then request our Credit control team to unblock your account.
Private Candidates
Private candidates are candidates taking a qualification without being enrolled full-time in a centre. They are responsible for their own entries, which must be made through an approved centre. Some qualifications contain conditions for non-examined assessment, coursework and internally assessed components. These conditions must be met by a centre to make an entry for a private candidate. If the conditions cannot be met, the centre should not make an entry for a private candidate. For a full list of qualifications and private candidate eligibility, please refer to our website.
