How to Register, Print Admission Tickets, and Check Certificates on art-edu.com

Candidates and authorized institutions use art-edu.com for three main tasks: exam registration, printing admission tickets and exam papers, and certificate lookup. The site serves the Shanghai test region for the National Fine Arts Grading Exam, National Recitation Grading Exam, and National Dance Grading Exam, operated under the Social Art Level Examination Center of the China Art Science and Technology Research Institute. Registration is announced through the site's news section rather than a permanent open form, so the first step is always to confirm that a registration window is currently open.

What the site covers

The homepage organizes its services into these areas:

Step 1: Confirm a registration window is open

Registration is not continuously available. The site posts announcements in its 最新公告 (Latest Announcements) section. For example, an announcement dated 2026/08/31 states that registration for the second half of 2026 National Fine Arts and Calligraphy Grading Exam has officially begun. If no such announcement is active, registration is likely closed for that cycle.

Check the announcement for:

• Which exam category is open (fine arts, recitation, or dance)
• The registration period
• Any grade-level or eligibility notes

Step 2: Register for the exam

The site lists these navigation entries under 美术考级 (Fine Arts Grading):

• 考级报名 (Exam Registration)
• 报考指南 (Application Guide)
• 考生须知 (Candidate Instructions)
• 考级流程 (Exam Process)
• 成绩查询 (Score Inquiry)

Use 考级报名 to enter the registration flow, and read 报考指南 and 考生须知 before submitting so you understand the requirements and materials needed. The site does not publish a fixed fee schedule or payment platform in the available content, so confirm costs and payment method through the registration page or the contact numbers below.

Exam categories and syllabi (考级大纲) listed on the site include:

• 素描 (Sketch)
• 漫画 (Manga)
• 软笔书法 (Soft-brush Calligraphy)
• 硬笔书法 (Hard-pen Calligraphy)
• 速写 (Quick Sketch)
• 花鸟 (Flower and Bird)
• 山水 (Landscape)
• 人物 (Character)
• 水粉画 (Gouache)
• 水彩画 (Watercolour)
• 油画 (Oil Paint)

Step 3: Print your admission ticket and exam papers

Use the 考生打印准考证及考题考卷 (Candidate printing of admission ticket and exam papers) entry. This is a separate login from institution access. Log in as a candidate, then print:

• Your admission ticket (准考证)
• Your exam papers (考题考卷)

Print these before the exam date. The site does not specify a deadline for printing, so treat the announcement's exam schedule as your guide and print as soon as the option becomes available.

Step 4: Check your certificate

Use 证书查询 (Certificate Inquiry) to look up an issued certificate. This is the public lookup function, separate from candidate login and institution login.

For authorized institutions

Authorized agencies use 机构登录 (Institution Login) to manage their candidates. The site also provides an 授权机构 (Authorized Institutions) section and a 机构申请 (Institution Application) option for organizations seeking authorization.

Contact and support

If a step fails or you cannot find an entry, the site lists these hotlines:

• Fine Arts Grading: 021-63171337 / 021-52308376
• Recitation Grading: 18917189376

The site also references a 考级APP (grading app) and a WeChat official account (微信公众号) as additional access channels.

Common points to watch

• Registration opens and closes by announcement, not year-round — check 最新公告 first.
• Candidate login (for tickets and papers) and institution login are different entries; use the correct one.
• Fees, payment methods, and login requirements are not stated in the available site content, so verify them directly through the registration flow or the hotlines rather than assuming.
