Essential steps before using the online form

There are three things you need in order to use this form - an Applicant Number, a password and an email address.

• Retrieving your password
  If you already have an Applicant Number but do not know your password, open the online form and click on the ‘Retrieve your password’ link. Your password will be sent automatically to your email address within 30 minutes. An ‘unsuccessful retrieval of password’ message will be displayed if you do not have an email address registered with us.
• Registering an email address
  If you do not have an email address registered but already have an Applicant Number you will need to contact us by email. You will need to do this at least 24 hours in advance of using the online form in order to allow time for your address to be registered.
• Confirming your Applicant Number
  Your applicant number will be printed on all exam correspondence from ABRSM. If you have forgotten your Applicant Number or have never entered candidates for our exams before, contact us by email giving details of your name and postal address .

Changing your password

You may change your password at any time by clicking on the ‘Change Password’ link after logging onto the online system. Please note that the password you choose must be between six and ten characters long and may contain letters and numbers. Please also bear in mind that the password dialogue box is case-sensitive.

Compatibility

The online forms are displayed within your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc) and will work with most standard browsers running on the major operating systems (Microsoft, Mac OS, Linux).

Automatic verification of Theory, Practical Musicianship or Jazz qualification

ABRSM: Grade 5 (or above) in Theory, Practical Musicianship or solo Jazz subject

Printing

Confirmation of receipt

Confirmation that your entry has been received will be emailed to you automatically following the successful submission of your entry (please allow about 30 minutes for the email to reach you). Please note that this is not a receipt of payment processed.

Notification of exam appointments

You will be notified of your candidates’ exam appointments by post. Once we have received and processed all postal and online entries we then arrange timetables before beginning the process of notifying applicants of exam dates and times. Those with the earliest appointments are informed first.
