Description | This field holds the reference number allocated to each student prior to course completion for the training of teachers. |
Notes | This number will stay with the teacher throughout their career within the teaching profession. The reference number required is the Teacher Reference Number (formerly known as a DfES number). The number is allocated by the Department for Education when details of a trainee are entered onto their system and the trainee's record created. The number allocated is a seven digit number. Where the student is in coverage for this field but they do not have a TRN, such as non-UK students, 999999998 should be returned. If the student has a TRN but it is not known by the provider, code 999999999 'not available' should be returned. |
Reason Required | To link with teaching career information; used by the DfE, and EWC in Wales. |
