Enrolling for an examination
You can register and enrol for AMEB Qld practical examinations online through the
AMEB Qld Shop.
AMEB Qld accepts enrolments on the understanding that teachers, candidates and parents have read and agreed to our terms and conditions. Before enrolling, please familiarise yourself with the
Enrollers' Handbook for a comprehensive list of AMEB Qld policies and procedures and examination information.
View our
AMEB Qld enrolment scenarios for an overview of the various ways an enroller can enrol a candidate in an examination.
If you are a first time enroller, you must register your details and email address to generate an enroller ID. This will provide you with access to purchase examinations, books and consultations. When you log in, you can access 'My Records' to view and print your candidate's slip and examination schedule. This information is usually available approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of every examination session.
Teachers may ask parents to enrol on their behalf, if this is the case, and you are a parent, please register with your own email and the teacher's enroller ID. Please note that all information will be sent to the enroller in the first instance. It is the enroller's responsibility to notify the parent of the candidate's examination details, including the date and time.
If you are an existing enroller and have forgotten your enroller ID, please contact AMEB Qld on (07) 3634 0933 to retrieve your existing ID. Please do not register for a new enroller ID.
Before enrolling for an examination, in addition to familiarising yourself with the
Enrollers' Handbook, use our
