Enrolments are through AMEB Connect.

Enrolments can be made for:

• Individual students
• A group of students, if the group wishes to activate the same exam at the same time

Step 1: Log in to AMEB Connect

We accept Mastercard and Visa credit, Visa debit and pre-paid cards.

All transactions paid by Mastercard or Visa incur a 0.4% surcharge. This is due to a government instruction for all agencies to recoup merchant interchange fees.

To view the student/s you have enrolled and their examination key you can also click on ‘My Candidates’ in AMEB Connect.

Step 7: Check your enrolment confirmation
 

AMEB Connect will email you an automated Confirmation of Enrolment and reference number. This is also your tax invoice and your official receipt from the AMEB (NSW). You should keep this document for future reference.

Your Confirmation of Enrolment will also include your online written exam key and pin.
 

What is an exam key and pin?

• An exam key is an alphanumeric code used to identify a candidate who has enrolled in an online exam. The pin is a code that allows the candidate to access the online exam portal.
• Enrollers receive a confirmation email with the exam key and pin when they enrol students in online exams.
• This information is also available to view in AMEB Connect. Click on 'My Candidates', select the relevant candidate and click on 'more information'.

Check your Confirmation of Enrolment details carefully. You must notify AMEB (NSW) within five business days of the issue date of the Confirmation of Enrolment email with any corrections.

Changes requested after this period will incur a fee of $30 per candidate per exam. 

Enrolment complete. What happens next?

If you have not received a Confirmation of Enrolment email within 24 hours, please contact us.

A student has 12 months from the date of enrolment to authorise and sit their online exam.
