What name can I enrol with?
You should enrol using the name that you want to show on your final certificate but this needs to be your legal name.

You can provide details of a name which you would like to be known as.
Please see the College website for the form which is required to be completed.
What does D.O.B mean?
This is your date of birth.
I don’t know my National Insurance Number, can I enrol without it?

I don’t know what a Scottish Candidate Number is or if I have one, can I enrol without it?
You would have a Scottish Candidate Number if you attended a secondary/high school in Scotland.
If you have any SQA certificates this number is at the top of them, below your name.
You can enrol without it but it is a good idea to let the College know the number as soon as you can.
I don’t understand the Previous Qualifications question.
