Take Your Next Step:
Exam Registration Form

It’s important that you provide all the required information to ensure you get your exam place booked smoothly.

You’ll need to have the right exam code for the papers you want to sit; it may be referred to as a syllabus, specification, entry or course code. You should contact your course provider if you can’t find this or are confused about which code you need.

Our exams officer at the centre will need:

1. Your full name and date of birth (these will need to be verified with ID)
2. Your contact details (email address and phone number)
3. Your Unique Candidate Identifier (UCI)

Your UCI can be found on your previous qualifications if you’ve sat UK exams before but don’t worry if you don’t have one to hand or if you’ve not sat examinations before, we can allocate you with another one.

For proof of ID we usually ask for Passport or Driver’s license. Try and make sure these documents are up to date. You can take picture of these and/or scan this in on the “Exam Booking Form” or even email it to: examsofficer@ateamacademy.co.uk. It is essential the ID you provide is the same one you turn up with on each and every exam sitting as this will be the way of identifying you. If you wear any facial coverings then you may be requested by a staff member of the same gender to verify your ID.

The exams officer will give you specific details of where to go on the day of the exam, but we’d suggest you arrive about half an hour early just to avoid any unforeseeable circumstances.

There are restrictions on what you can and can’t take into the exam room, so here is an outline

DO take:

• Your photo ID
• Your Statement of Entry (this is not essential but might be helpful)

• You can find exam timetables for each awarding body via the link:

  • Edexcel
  • AQA
  • Cambridge Assessment International
  • OCR
  • WJEC

Once you have booked your specific examinations, a personalised exam timetable will be sent to you outlining the examinations you have signed up, the dates for sitting and the duration of each examination. You will also be allocated with a candidate number and instructions will also be provided for each test you are sitting. Please make sure to abide by these instructions.

The vast majority of exams will take place at our Coventry Road Examination Centre in Birmingham unless otherwise stated. You will be required to bring ID with you for each and every exam you are sitting (failure to do so can involve being turned away). Also make sure to have all documents updated i.e. passport, driver’s licence and also make adequate provisions to get to the centre on time. Parking is available at the centre and we are linked to excellent public transport connections from both Birmingham City and Solihull. Exams will not be held up by late arrivals.

ICSE, IGCSE & A-Level exam dates are nationally set, so when you book as a private candidate, you’ll still sit your exam at the same time as all other students across the UK.

Your exam dates will depend on the subjects you’re studying and the awarding body that your qualification is awarded by.

Most GCSEs usually take place in May/June and there is an opportunity to sit English and Maths in November. IGCSEs usually take place in January and May/June. A-Levels usually take place in May/June and any practical endorsements will take place during the course of the year.

Cambridge International A-Levels are usually available in October/November. Functional Skills are available throughout the course of the year.

It is important that you understand that when booking your exams time and effort goes into the process and as we are a private examination centre we have a certain number of candidates allocated for each examination series. Depending on your circumstances if in the instance you cannot sit the examinations we will request adequate evidence for this and following this will issue a partial refund taking off the administration cost involved for assigning the examinations.

No Refunds will be issued following the deadline set by the Awarding Bodies.
