Courses Management Service online training events
We're delivering Courses Management Service (CMS) online training events on 20 November. This will help you to update your courses for academic year 2025/26. The training will share best practice and advice on topics including course submissions, our validation process and provider responsibilities.
Registration and attendance confirmations
Please submit registration and attendance confirmations as soon as possible. Registration confirmation should be completed as soon as your student has completed enrolment. You must also confirm attendance when your student has started attending their course.
Awarding body registration
You must make sure that students are correctly registered with the relevant awarding body before you confirm attendance on SIS. Whether you validate your own university courses, or they're validated by another awarding body, you must check that all student details are correct on both systems before you confirm attendance.
