FAQ
Q How do I gain access to the portal?
Q How do I register my learners?
A Learner registrations are submitted via the Quartz portal. Users need to ensure they are logged in as 'Administration Contact' before selecting 'Actions' and then 'Register your learners here'. Once on the 'Register your learners here' page, there is a statement at the top of the drop-downs which is 'E Registration Template - Click Here' This will then open an EXCEL spreadsheet for the centre to complete.
This spreadsheet needs to be completed and then saved on the centre's system. Once the spreadsheet is completed and saved, the drop-down can then be completed. In the first drop down the programme/course needs to be selected and then in the second drop down the qualification will need to be selected.
Once these two drop-downs have been completed the 'Continue' in the bottom right needs to be selected before the next page will open. On the next page, there will be a series of drop-downs that now need to be completed. These drop-downs include a start date and end date for the course, the site in which the course is being done at and also the Course Leader, Internal Verifier and External Verifier. Once all of these drop-downs have been completed it is time for the E Registration template to be uploaded.
At the bottom, there will be a 'Choose File' button. This is where the E Registration template needs to be selected from the centre's system. Once the centre has completed all of the drop-downs with the accurate information and has selected the correct file to upload they can then select 'submit'.
