We are not sure what the role of the Awarding Bodies and Awarding Organisations is in terms of verifying the ULN, is their further information available?
From September 2010 Awarding Bodies and Organisations will be asking you to provide ULNs for your Learners when they are being registered as a candidate and entered for an exam or qualification. This is to ensure that learning information and award data, especially for QCF qualifications can be uploaded and easily matched to the correct Personal Learning Record. Awarding Bodies will be verifying the ULN with the following demographics: ULN, given name and family name. If an Awarding Body cannot verify the ULN they may need to contact you directly to double check the demographics of a learner.
