How to register

Registration is through participating schools, not individual applications. SilverZone's current FAQ specifies a minimum of 40 students per subject and school registration at school.silverzone.org. Ask the school which exam dates still accept entries and confirm the current prospectus, fee and deadline. The one-time registration fee covers subsequent levels for eligible qualifiers.
