Apply for a copy of your results or certificate
Find out how to request a replacement certificate document for your Pearson BTEC, Edexcel or EDI qualification, or how to get your results or details of your qualification sent to a university, employer or agency.
Standard service
Our standard service provides official confirmation of your results which we aim to dispatch within 20 working days.
It's available for all of our BTEC, Edexcel, EDI and LCCI branded qualifications and results issued by:
- University of London Examinations and Assessment Council (ULEAC)
- University of London School Examinations Board (ULSEB)
- Regional exam boards within East Anglia, London and Middlesex (EAEB, LEAG and LREB)
- University Entrance and School Examinations Council (UE & SEC)
- Joint Examinations Board (JEB)
- ASET
Why might it take longer than 20 working days?
If you took your qualification before 2007 (for Vocational) or 1996 (for Academic), the time required to provide you with your replacement document may be longer. This is because the results for these qualifications are on microfiche (a flat piece of film containing microphotographs) or historic systems which are no longer in use, and this makes the search for your results much more complex and time consuming.

At the bottom of a Certifying Statement of Results there is the statement ‘this is not a certificate’. We're required to print this on all Certifying Statements of Results to show that the document isn’t the original certificate. If an employer, university or other education institution has concerns about the statement, you can reassure them that the Certifying Statement of Results is an official replacement document, issued by Pearson.

A Replacement Certificate is an official document that replaces your original certificate.
A Notification of Performance / Certificate of Unit Credit provides the details of units completed within a vocational qualification.
These documents are printed on certificate paper and include the hologram that proves the document’s authenticity. They may not be printed on the same certificate paper as your original certificate, but will show all the same information, including all of your subjects and the grades you achieved (where applicable).
We'll provide a Letter of Confirmation if you apply for any vocational qualifications for which we hold results and were completed before 1984.
A Letter of Confirmation is an official document produced when we can't provide a replacement certificate or certifying statement of results.
It’s printed on certificate paper and includes the hologram that proves the document’s authenticity. It won't be printed on the same certificate paper as your original certificate but it’ll confirm that you completed your course and provide details of the units you completed and any grades, where appropriate.
