# Can I register learners on qualifications that have an operational end date?

**Yes, as long as that date hasn’t passed!** Qualifications with an operational end date will also have a certification end date. This is the final date by which a learner registered on that qualification must be certificated.  

We set our certification end dates sufficiently far in the future for any learner registered on or before the operational end date to complete their studying and assessment. However, it’s always worth talking to your learners about this, so they understand the time limit they’re working to. 

We regularly communicate operational and certification end dates as part of our qualification newsletters, which you can receive by signing up on our [website](http://www.tquk.org?hsLang=en). However, if anything isn’t clear please call us on 03333 58 3344 or email [support@tquk.org](mailto:support@tquk.org).
