How do schools complete the candidate registration templates?

ISEB school customers can now access Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheets and begin to populate pupil details for the iPQ and Exploring the Ancient World (Classics for All) qualifications. 

Schools can access these easy-to-use templates by logging into their ISEB School Account and navigating to the Examination & Qualification Registration section, found in the Schools Hub, and selecting the correct qualification registration area: iPQ or Exploring the Ancient World (Classics for All). 

Please note, the examination registration areas are only accessible to schools logged-in to a verified ISEB School Account. If you are unable to navigate to these areas or can see a padlock, this indicates you are not logged-in and will need to do so before continuing. 

Once on the correct examination registration area you can download the Candidate Registration Upload Template spreadsheet. This will open in .Excel on your computer. 

Please note, there is a bespoke upload template for each examination and care should be taken to download the correct spreadsheet for the required qualification. 

Once downloaded, open the spreadsheet and begin to populate it with candidate details. 

Candidate information required: 

• First name
• Last name
• Full preferred name to be printed on the certificate*
• School year
• iPQ Level 

*Schools MUST populate the full preferred name field to ensure the correct full name is printed. 

Please ensure you enter candidate's names in sentence case i.e. James Smith. Names will be printed on certificates as entered into the upload spreadsheets, so please take care to use the correct spelling and capitalisation.

The spreadsheet includes drop-down features for the following categories:

• School year
• iPQ Level

Please note, to view the drop-down please click into the cell and the options will appear, scroll to select the correct school for each candidate.

There are three iPQ levels which apply to the different key stages:

1. iPQ2 for years 5 and 6 (KS2) 
2. iPQ3 for years 7 and 8
3. iPQ4 for years 8 and 9 (KS3)
   

Once all candidates have been entered and checked please save the spreadsheet as a CSV (comma delimited) by selecting the drop-down 'file type' when saving, see screenshot below. 

Once a school is satisfied the spreadsheet is fully populated with all candidates entered correctly, please save the document as a .CSV (comma delimited) and upload through the new online forms. 

To access these forms, log into your ISEB School Account and navigate to the Schools Hub - Examination & Qualification Registration Area and select the appropriate qualification. 

• Register candidates for the ISEB Project Qualification (iPQ)

Completing these forms will only take a few minutes. Once a registration has been submitted, a record of candidate registrations will appear in the school's dashboard on the ISEB School Account.

We recommend schools coordinate between all staff who may be required to submit candidates as only one spreadsheet can be submitted per school. The system has been designed in a way to disregard any previous uploaded spreadsheets in favour of the most recent upload and as such only one spreadsheet will be recorded for each school, per ISEB School Account. 

A walk through video is available demonstrating how to download and complete the registration templates.
