Hello everyone Quick update - as of this morning (Tuesday 30th August) we have now received just over 4.6 million GCSE results, and approximately 785k A/AS-level results. It looks like the AOs finished their uploads by Saturday morning and these volumes match up with previous years, so it looks like we received all of the GQ results we would expect for this period within approximately 48 hours of the results being released to learners! As always, if there are any GCSE results missing for learners that you believe should be in LRS (i.e. the learner already has a ULN and attended a state-funded school), then their AO would always be the best first point of contact to investigate (we can't investigate or process personal data that we don't already hold). However, please do keep us informed if you find out why results may be missing so that we can work with all AOs to ensure similar issues don't happen again in the future. Thanks Greg Fowler - LRS Service Owner

Hi Dan Submit Learner Data (SLD) typically takes a feed of ULNs from the Learning Records Service (LRS) once per hour, so you may need to wait up to 60 minutes after creating a ULN in LRS before you can submit it to SLD. I hope that helps.

Hi David As Steve points out, the LRS security certificates are only relevant to providers who have access to the LRS web services (APIs). This is generally where they will have an MI system or bespoke software that talks to LRS directly, and means the provider can obtain ULNs or view the achievements of learners without needing to visit the LRS web portal. We're only sending the email comms about the certificate changes to providers that have access (or perhaps had in the past) to the web services. If you're confident that your organisation/MI system doesn't communicate with LRS directly and only interact with LRS through the web-based portal, then you can ignore the email (it may be worth double checking with your colleagues/MI supplier though?) I hope that helps!
