Following on from the recent launch of the HEI Courses Service accessible through the HEI Portal, the SLC have announced that the HEI Course Database Web Service Partner Test Environment is now available to allow institutions to perform acceptance testing.

Smaller institutions that are satisfied that the On-Line HEI Courses Service (portal screens) that went live on the 2nd June is a suitable method for their institutions to manage course information then there is no need to further progress with the WebService at this time.

The Web Service will allow HEIs / IT Suppliers to directly update SLC systems based on information held on their own retrospective systems and is available as an additional method of providing course information to SLC along with the HEI Courses Service that went live at the beginning of June.

This document below provides the information required by the HEI or their IT Supplier when accessing the SLC test system for the purpose of customer acceptance testing.

Technical specification documents for the course database is now available.
