Staying on Track: Creative approaches for keeping 14-19 learners engaged

Posted: 18 November 2009

Event Date: 26 February 2010

For providers working with 14-19 learners in schools, FE colleges and a range of other learning environments.

Electronic learner registration

OCN London Region requires centres to register learners electronically using electronic data interchange (EDI). Electronic learner registration is a simple process that greatly reduces the need for paper-based registration forms and speeds up the registration process. There is reduced opportunity for error as the information is entered once and transferred instantaneously.

Learner registration process

Email edi@ocnlr.org.uk to request a log-in;
Receive centre-specific log-in details and a password from OCNLR (sent by post);
Log into the edi area on the OCNLR website to download an Excel spreadsheet learner registration form and accompanying guidance;
Enter learner details directly onto the spreadsheet can be populated

Or
Upload learner details directly from an internal MIS system (where applicable) to populate the spreadsheet.

Once you log in instructions are available at the top of the page. This section of the website is fully secured using a Secure Socket Layer which encrypts all information passed to OCNLR.

Please use the Course and Learner Registration Form provided by OCNLR to register learners. OCNLR does not accept centre-devised registration forms.

Early notification is required to ensure that the necessary documentation can be sent to you and that the award of credit for learners can be completed quickly and efficiently. Learner registrations must not be sent to us by email, as this is not a secure route. If you have not received your login details to access the EDI service please e-mail or call your centre’s admin contact at OCNLR.

How to complete the Course and Learner Registration Form

Enter course details and the units;
Enter details for all learners you wish to register on the course.

For short courses (less than 12 week’s duration), learners must be registered within 4 weeks from the start date of the course. For all other courses, learners should be registered within 12 weeks from the start date.

OCNLR will enter both course and learners onto our database from your completed registration documents. The information on the form will be used to generate:

A Recommendation for the Award of Credit (RAC) form, which will be issued to the Centre’s Administration contact;
An invoice, which will be sent to the Centre’s Finance contact

Amending Course Runs

Please notify OCNLR of any changes to the course. Amendments may include:

Units added to a course run after you have registered the course with OCNLR;
Changes to learner details and/or additional learners.
