2. Add new learners

If you want to enable your learners to see their achievements you will need to provide them with their unique learner number (ULN) and request the LAR system to issue them with a password. (If you are not set up to get ULNs please go to www.miap.gov.uk for details or see instructions for getting ULNs below).

To request access you need to set up the learner's details in a .csv file and submit it to the system. To do this:

  • Download and save the sample file from the website is available online.
  • Type the details of your learners into the file and save it.
  • Select the function 'Add New Learners' and use the 'Browse' function to locate your .csv file and upload.
  • Once you have done this you will receive an email confirming what the LAR system has done.
  • All your learners should have been processed successfully but if not the email should tell you what has gone wrong.
  • Each learner should receive an email with their own password and the URL for learner access: www.qcf.qca.org.uk/Learners/Home

Centres in Northern Ireland will have access to this service after the ratification of the England only Further Education Act on 23rd December 2007
