Access and login FAQs

Am I eligible for access to the Teacher Support Site?
Cambridge International Centres
If you work at a Cambridge International Centre, your Centre may be registered for the website already - if you know who your Centre's CIE Teacher Support Coordinator is, check with them first. If your Centre isn't registered then your Centre will have to apply to CIE for access. Please see www.cie.org.uk for further details.

Attached Centres
If you work at an Attached Centre, please contact your British Council Centre or Distributor Centre to arrange access.

Do I have to work at a Cambridge Centre to use this site?
Yes, access to this site is only available to staff at Cambridge Centres. It is not available to individuals or to students. Access to the site is restricted to teachers in order that they can make best use of resources (e.g. Mark Schemes and past papers) which are not freely available to their students.

Why can't I log into the site?
Either your username is wrong or your password is wrong. Make sure caps lock is off and you have entered both correctly. If it still doesn't work, ask your Teacher Support Coordinator to check your username and/or reset your password.

It is also possible that your login has expired if you have not used the website for a long time. In this case, please contact your Teacher Support Coordinator.

Why doesn't my email address work anymore as my username?
The first time you log into the site, your email address will still work and you will then be sent a new username by email. On all subsequent occasions you will have to use your new username.

We have changed the usernames to make the site more secure.
