If you wish to become a registered centre for Edexcel examinations, the application form should be completed in block capitals and returned to:

Centre Recognition Officer
Compliance & Quality
Edexcel
190 High Holborn

WC1V 7BH.

Important Notes for Existing Edexcel Centres

• The recognition form is for new centres only. If you are already an Edexcel centre for GCSE and you want to submit entries for GCE, all you need to do is to confirm this in writing to the above address and you will be notified of your new centre status.
• If you want to run/teach a new subject, please refer to centre guidance and subject specification which will give you advice on ways of delivering the specification and on the resources needed.  Please visit our website on www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/.
  

Edexcel may wish an Inspector to visit your centre to inspect the proposed examination arrangements before the application can be considered.  In this respect, would you please ensure that your centre is ready for inspection prior to the inspector’s visit (see JCQ Instructions for Conducting Examinations).  It would be also most helpful if you could provide a local map indicating the exact location of the establishment.
