How to register for examinations at David Game College

If you are applying to be a Private (External) Candidate for the first time at David Game College, you will need to come to the college at 69 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3JS to register;  we do not accept e-mail or telephone applications from potential candidates living outside London or overseas.  There is no need to book an appointment; simply turn up at any of the following times:

Monday 20 February NO EXAM REGISTRATIONS
Tuesday 21 February 1.45 - 4.30 pm
Wednesday 22 Feb. 1.15 - 3.15 pm
Thursday 23 February 1.15 - 3.15 pm
Friday 24 February 1.15 - 3.15 pm

Please do not come into David Game College to register as a Private Candidate on Monday 20 February as we will not be processing any applications.

Week commencing Monday 27 February: times will be posted here in due course.

You should go to Reception on the second floor and ask for an entry form for private candidates - please make it clear which level you are applying for (GCSE / IGCSE) so that you are given the correct entry form.  Mr Kahn (the Academic Vice-Principal and Examinations Officer) will then check the details on the form (correct codes, documentation etc) and will register the entry if everything is in order.  For students aged up to and including 18 only, it is permissible for the student's parent or guardian to come in without the student as long as all the required documentation - including correct entry codes and previous Statements of Results, where applicable - is brought in.

Note: under no circumstances will we accept first time applications solely by telephone or e-mail - the student (or parent/guardian in the case of students aged up to and including 18) must come into our examination office at 69 Notting Hill Gate to register.  Students living outside London are advised to look for centres closer to home, although if you are able to travel to London in person to register we will of course consider the application.  For students who have already taken examinations as a private candidate in a previous session at David Game College (and hence whose details we already have), applications may be made by sending an e-mail containing precise details of the examinations required to the Examinations Officer at

mkahn@davidgame-group.com

quoting your 4-digit candidate number in the subject field.  A reply will be sent explaining how payment may be made over the telephone.

Please bring with you your most recent official Statement(s) of Results.  If you have more than one (eg one from AQA, one from Edexcel) it is important that you show us all of them, even if they relate to subjects you will not be taking in your future examinations.  This is to enable us to check your Unique Candidate Identifier (UCI) and to resolve any associated problems (for example, if your previous school has made the mistake of allocating you a new UCI when you already had one from elsewhere).

Note: if you have never taken a GCSE / IGCSE / AS / A level examination before (and hence do not have a Statement of Results from a previous examination session), please do not worry - just mention this to Mr Kahn when you come in to register and he will allocate you a UCI number.  The same applies to mature students who last took a public examination ten or more years ago.  It is vital that you tell us if you already have a UCI number allocated by another school or college, and provide documentary evidence verifying that UCI number.

You will also need to bring with you:

  1. two passport-sized photographs
  2. a photocopy (not the document itself) of one of the following forms of identity:
    i. passport page showing personal data and photograph
    ii. driving licence showing photograph
    iii. any other photographic proof of identity
