Learner Registration Service
This is an internet-based service which enables education providers to generate a Unique Learner Number (ULN) for anyone over the age of 14 in UK education and training.
The service was introduced in September 2007 through early adoption pilots and is now being made available across the education sector (schools, sixth form colleges, FE and HE) in England.
The ULN is a randomly-generated 10 digit number that will allow students to build a lifelong record of their learning participation and achievements, which they can access and choose to share.
