Entries

A centre must be registered as an OCR centre to make entries for external assessments. If you are not registered, please click here. Please note: it is not necessary to be registered to buy or use our Teacher Assessment Packs.

How to make entries 

  

Step 1 - Estimated Entries

Before making final entries, registered centres should first make estimated entries. Please make these as early as you can in the academic year.

  • Estimated entries are your best estimate of the number of candidates that will be entered for a particular assessment during the whole academic year.
  • We despatch speaking materials for the whole year on the basis of your estimated entries.
  • Estimated entries do not commit you to entering for particular assessments.
  • There is no fee charged for estimated entries.

Please download and complete the form below to make estimated entries for Asset Languages. Please remember we need your best estimate for the total number of candidates you intend to enter for each qualification during the course of the academic year. There is no need to break this down by the testing window.

Please see the Final Entries Guide below for more information

Step 2 - Final Entries

After making estimated entries, centres should make final entries to meet the deadline for the appropriate testing windows. For the deadline dates please click here.

Final entries must be made for each candidate for each assessment and option required.

  • Final entries give us your centre’s detailed data for each candidate for each assessment to be taken.  
  • OCR uses final entry information to send you the correct assessment materials.

Please see the Final Entries Guide Below for more information

2) Online Entries and Results System

For centres which do not usually use EDI to submit entries, the main method of making final entries for Asset Languages is via the Online Entries and Results System. This is located at

https://entries.assetlanguages.org.uk

(You may need to copy and paste this link into your browser.)

To make your entries on the System, your centre must first agree to the website Terms of Use:

pdf   Online Entries and Results System Terms of Use

Once your centre has returned the signed Terms of Use (by fax on 01223 556083 or by post), a password and login details will be emailed to the Asset Languages Exams Officer.

Entries can either be made directly on the website or by uploading a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet templates can be downloaded from the Online Entries and Results System.

Instructions on how to use the Entries System can be found in the System User Guide:
