7. Unique learner numbers

To enable the recording and tracking of credit via the LAR each learner needs a unique learner number (ULN). In order to obtain ULNs for your learners you need to register with the learner registration service (LRS). For an overview of the LRS go to http://www.miap.gov.uk The process for obtaining ULNs is a simple one:

  1. To register download the Organisation Agreement and Application Form from www.miap.gov.uk/earlyadopters

    2.  

  2. Complete the form and agreement and send to:
    MIAP Business Team
    LSC
    Cheylesmore House
    Quinton Road
    Coventry
    CV1 2WT

    3.  

  3. Once you have registered with the LRS you will be provided with a user name and password to access the service.

    4.  

  4. The LRS service provides two ways of getting ULNs, via a web page or via an upgrade to your MIS system which automates the process. Which method you choose will depend on a number of factors, including the number of your learners involved. You will need to contact your MIS provider to find out how they are supporting the introduction of the ULN.

 

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