Important Information

If you are having difficulties meeting the entry deadline, for example your MIS has crashed, please contact us on eprocessing@pearson.com and we will support your entry submission process.

Please submit entries using Edexcel Online or EDI. Edexcel Online is available for use from the time that the basedata is released for a particular examination series.

Vocational Qualifications Registration

Registrations for vocational qualifications that follow the academic year should be made by 1 November 2025. Registrations made after this date will be subject to late fees.

Learners must be registered for BTEC qualifications before external assessment entries can be submitted. Registered learners are not automatically entered for external assessments, so you will need to make unit entries for the appropriate examination series.
