Teacher reference number (TRN)

You need a TRN to register for an NPQ, even if you’re not a teacher.

If you are a teacher, you can find your TRN on your payslip, teaching contract or teachers’ pension records.

If you’ve lost your TRN, you can use the Find a lost TRN service.

If you work in early years, further education, or qualified as a teacher outside England, you may need to request a TRN if you do not already have one.
