Learning Records Service

The EOA is working in close partnership with the Learning Records Service (formerly called MIAP- Managing Information Across Partners) to help administer and streamline the examination system in UK schools and colleges by using the Unique Learning Number (ULN) as a common identifier for candidate, learner, student and pupil related information. 

This number is now being used by UK Awarding Organisations as a common identifier for candidate information and the ULN features on results slips, certificates and administration systems. The ULN is also the key to the Personal Learning Record which is being trialled by UCAS Apply at present to access and verify candidates’ GCSE results. The ULN is also being piloted by universities.

All schools will already have ULNs allocated to their pupils and candidates (aged 14+) which can be accessed from the school’s Management Information system.

While this partnership agreement is based on the shared objective of delivering a safe, robust and successful exam system, the EOA works along side the Learning Records Service as an independent stakeholder. The EOA believes that this type of relationship fosters a greater sense of shared ownership in the successful delivery of present and future exam systems.
