We recently made changes to Support for publish teacher training courses (Support) to improve how the support team adds and edits organisation details.
We also changed Support and Publish teacher training courses (Publish) to use Get information about schools (GIAS) data for addresses.
Following these changes, we needed to update the organisation details section of Publish.
What we changed
We have updated the:
- organisation details page
- edit organisation details form
- edit organisation contact details form
- data validation rules
Organisation details
The organisation details section includes:
- provider name
- provider code
- accredited provider ID - if the organisation is an accredited provider
- UK provider reference number (UKPRN)
- unique reference number (URN) - if the provider is a school
Users can change UKPRN and URN.
Users cannot change the provider name, provider code and accredited provider ID as this affects other services, for example, Apply for teacher training (Apply). They must contact the support team to make a change.
Organisation contact details
Every course published on Find postgraduate teacher training (Find) shows an organisation’s contact details. They must keep this information up to date.
The organisation’s contact details section includes:
- email address
- telephone number
- website
- address - lines 1 to 3, town or city, county and postcode
Users can change all contact details.
Data validation rules
UKPRN
UKPRN is required. If the user does not enter a UKPRN, we show the error message:
Enter a UK provider reference number (UKPRN)
A UKPRN is eight digits starting with 1. If the user does not enter a valid format, we show the error message:
Enter a valid UK provider reference number (UKPRN) - it must be 8 digits starting with a 1, like 12345678
We do not test for uniqueness because multiple providers can have the same number.
For example, one organisation may be registered in Publish twice, once for primary courses and once for secondary courses. Whilst we prefer that providers do not do this, we can only ensure the UKPRN is unique once we have reconciled the duplicate organisations.
URN
If the provider is a school, they must enter a URN for the school. If they do not enter a URN, we show an error message:
Enter a unique reference number (URN)
The URN must be 5 or 6 digits long.
Enter a valid unique reference number (URN) - it must be 5 or 6 digits long
Email address
Email address is required. If the user does not enter an email address, we show the error message:
Enter an email address
If the user does not enter a valid email address format, we show the error message:
Enter an email address in the correct format, like name@example.com
Telephone number
Telephone number is required. If the user does not enter a telephone number, we show the error message:
Enter a telephone number
If the user does not enter a valid telephone number format, we show the error message:
Enter a real telephone number
Website address
Website address is required. If the user does not enter a website address, we show the error message:

If the user does not enter a valid website address format, we show the error message:
Enter a website address in the correct format, like https://www.example.com
