Recommendations cover file naming to prevent A2C issues, submitting only one file per week, and respecting entry/amendment deadlines to avoid charges.

Around 70% of entries that are submitted to us contain simple and avoidable mistakes – while we can fix most of these without contacting you – this does delay us processing your entry files. Use the tips below to help get entries right first time.  \nAQA Education (AQA) is a registered charity (number 1073334) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (number 3644723) . Our registered address is AQA, Devas Street, Manchester M15 6EX.  \nEDI  \nOne file  \nName  \nSpecs  \nTiers  \nTo avoid A2C files getting stuck and being unable to reach us, make sure the name of the file you’re trying to send is different from other files in the A2C archive location, eg file names could be ‘AX.01’,‘AX.02’, etc.  \nTry to send only one file per week, but please do check the entry and amendment deadlines to make sure you do not get charged. Sending multiple files a day or week can create a backlog if there are mistakes. Update and save a file locally and send it to us on a day of your choice each week.  \nOnly enter a learner for one option per subject (eg 7041AA for History) . Entering for multiple options means we will need to fix it manually which will delay your whole entry file. You can change the option before the amendment deadline with no additional fee .  \nOnly enter a learner for one tier per subject. Entering for both tiers means we will need to fix it manually which will delay your whole entry file. You can change the tier before the amendment deadline with no additional fee.  \nUse full legal names where possible. However, if you need to enter a learner who has a name longer than 40 characters, please abbreviate  \nUCI  \nMake sure you use the learners original UCI whenever possible. Using multiple UCIs means we will need to fix it manually which will delay your whole entry file. Using the learners original UCI will also reduce the risk of issues when importing results on results day.  \nor shorten the name to a suitable alternative of 40 characters or fewer .
