I teach a girl who is coming up to her grade 1, but I'm still in school, we go to different schools and her school doesn't do music exams, so would it be ok for her to be entered with my school?

You could enter her yourself?

You couldn't enter her yourslef as you have to be 18, but you could get the parents to enter her. Or you could speak to your head of music in your school, as it would be their choice if they are allowed to enter through the shchool, i think.

Closing date is fairly soon, so you need to sort this out fairly quickly. even if the parents registered for an applicat number, they might not get it in time now. Suggest you speak to your Head of Music - I think most would be happy to enter a candidate on your behalf. Outside teachers sometimes enter candidates through a school for various reasons.

Really? im not 18 and i enter myself

Come to think of it, I tried to enter daughter some years ago and messed up the form - the AB sent us an applicant number in her name (she was 12 at the time!)

i just registered online, they didnt ask for my age :S

You are not allowed to enter anybody until you are 18. The pupil can be entered by her parents at the local centre. They don't need an applicant number in advance if they enter by post - the Board will send them one later. The closing date is 16 Jan, so you should have time to sort this out. The online date is a week later, but they would have to be registered before this. If you want to enter the pupil at your school, it is entirely up to the person organising the visit whether they could allow this, so you'd need to ask them.

Three observations/questions come to mind:

1 - What insurance reasons?
2 - If, as seems apparent, the age of the person entering the candidate is not asked on the entry form then
a. how would the board know,
b. if they did know what would they do and
c. if they were to find out after the event would it affect the validity of the result?
3 - My flute teacher entered me at his school, with the permission of his head of department (who listened at the door) and the head of keyboard (who kindly and expertly acted as my accompanist), the point being that not every candidate at a school visit is necessarily a pupil of that school (or any other school in my case - I'm 49!)

The applicant does not have to state his/her age on the form, but they do have to sign that they are over 18. It is part of the regulations for entering candidates (which also apply when entering online). The applicant is the person accepting responsibility for entering candidates, receiving communications and for all payments due - hardly something you would leave to a child. Of course, the Board can't actually tell that the applicant is over 18. I can't imagine that the results would be invalidated if it was later found that the applicant was under 18, although I'm sure they would not be able to enter anyone again until they reached 18.

There is no reason why anyone can't be entered at any visit, as long as they have permission of the visit organiser. It's quite common for extra people to be included, as in Robodoc's case.
