1. INTRODUCTION
===============
This file has been prepared to assist centres in making their qualification entries for Key Skills via EDI with OCR. Please follow these guidelines closely as it will help OCR staff to process your qualification entries quickly and efficiently.

2. OPTION TITLES
================
It has become apparent that some centres have difficulty in identifying the full title of certain options due to restrictions imposed by the application suite they are using. The following is a full list of all the options included in the current set of basedata along with a complete description relating to that option code.
	
Option
Entry
Code	Option Title					Full Description
======= ======================================= =================================================

171000	KEY SKILLS QUALIFICATION			Qualification entry for all six Key Skills qualifications 
171100	SINGLE UNIT COMMUNICATION			Communication qualification entry
171200	SINGLE UNIT APPLICATION OF NUMBER		Application of Number qualification entry
171300	SINGLE UNIT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 		Information and Communication Technology qualification entry

You can either enter for all six Key Skills qualifications using one overarching entry code. Alternatively, you can enter for each Key Skill qualification individually. 
Candidates should not be entered for both an overarching entry and single qualification entries as well.



4. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
========================
ENTRIES:	Qualification entries and test entries cannot be accepted in the same file. Two separate files must be submitted. Only candidates who have qualification entries can be entered for the Key Skills tests. 
BOARD:		Please ensure that the board identifier for Key Skills EDI submissions to OCR is set to 72.
