Academic qualification
Academic qualification certificates for the summer exam series are printed and posted to centres in late September after the close of the 'Review of Results' period.
This may be possible, but we'd need to check what ongoing enquiries we have for your centre and whether we can print and despatch these in order to meet your request. Please contact us by 31 August.
Please note: early certification is not available for the November 2020 series.
No, only grades awarded in the current series will be printed on the certificate.
We'll issue you with a replacement certificate if grades have been changed as a result of a post-results enquiry or late amendment, but we will need the old certificate to be returned to us. Please return these with a covering note to say what needs changing to:
