Hi, Thanks for the info - unfortunately we are under the exceptional arrangement as we subcontract teaching of 1 subject to an organisation with specialist staff, so they don't have a separate centre number. Instead Edexcel have added an 'A' to our centre number for the 'main site' and a 'B' to the centre number for students studying the one subject with external staff coming on site for teaching.

We use SIMS Exams Organiser for submitting our Exams entries and BTEC registrations. As we have a collaborative arrangement for BTECs, Edexcel have set us up as a main site and a sub-site (centre number XXXXX - so for Edexcel BTECs our main site is now XXXXXA and the sub-site XXXXXB). I have contacted Capita SIMS Help to ask how to use SIMS Exams Organiser so that the sub-site can be included when creating BTEC registrations and exam entries. The advice was that, to use a sub-site, I change the Centre number in the set up before I generate the file for the relevant students, but as it needs an A or a B attached and the filed only seems to accept a 5 digit number I don't think this will work. Does anyone else have BTEC sub-sites and use SIMS that could advise how they make registrations and entries please.
