Abstract
Cloud computing has in the recent past gained a lot of ground in this digital age. The use of cloud technologies in business has broken barriers in sharing information making the world one big global village. Regardless of where one is, data or information can be received or sent instantly disregarding distance. In this research, we investigated the challenges in registering candidates for school examinations and availability of internet services in various parts of Zambia and then present a candidate registration process based on the cloud model which is aimed at resolving challenges of distances from examination centres to the examining body in order to register for examinations as well as improving the timelines and cutting down the back and forth movements in the whole process. The web based registration system was developed and tested and the testing ascertained connectivity, functionality and scalability of the system.

All Centres with prospective candidates for examinations would enter the candidate details and create a text file of candidate details in a predetermined format which was later submitted to Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ)
The results presented are derived from the responses by the respondents after data analysis
Summary
The advancements in technology have changed the way businesses operate. The availability of candidates information in good time would help examining bodies that conduct public examinations to adequately prepare accurate examination materials and reduce on errors. Ten (10) years later, ECZ embarked on automating systems and localised the results processing as well as registration of candidates for school examinations. In the latest candidate registration method described by [6] was used by ECZ where examination centres were every year be provided with a CD containing the desktop candidate registration application. All Centres with prospective candidates for examinations would enter the candidate details and create a text file of candidate details in a predetermined format which was later submitted to ECZ. This research investigated the candidate registration for school examinations in Zambia in order to develop a candidate registration system that utilises cloud services
