MTC Service
The MTC service is where schools will prepare to administer the check. This can be accessed via DfE Sign-in from Monday 28 April 2025.
Schools must generate a school password and individual pupil PIN within the MTC service before pupils are able to sign in to access the check using the ‘pupil application'
