How to extract TRNs from the Register service

This guidance is for Higher Education Institutes (HEIs).

There are instances when you might need to bulk download trainee’s teacher reference numbers (TRNs). This guidance will talk you through a step by step:

  • sign into Register trainee teachers
  • navigate to Registered trainees
  • look for Export these records. You can use the filters on the left if you only want a selection of trainees
  • a CSV file will download with all the trainee details including a column for TRN

TRNs are often issued within a few hours of Registering a trainee. If a trainee has a tag that says Pending TRN to the right of their name, it means a TRN hasn’t been issued yet.
