Certificates
Certificates are produced by exam boards and despatched to centres in late October/November following the summer exams. Certificates are legal documents and have to be signed for by the student themselves, or a nominated adult with written permission.
Certificates will be posted to student’s last known home address in December following the summer exams. It is important that you let us know if you have changed address. Any certificates held by the college will be kept secure for one year before shredding.
Certificates should be kept safe as they are evidence of qualifications at a later date. The college does not keep copies of certificates and cannot obtain them at a future date.
If you misplace or lose your certificates, you will need to apply direct to the relevant exam board or awarding body for replacements, for which they will charge a fee per certificate. This is easily done online and website links and telephone numbers can be found below.
