Exam Certificate Collection
Our certificate collection afternoon will take place in the Atrium between 3.30pm – 4.30pm on Thursday, 9 January 2025. After this date, please contact our Reception Team to make arrangements to collect any uncollected certificates. Please note JCQ state: ‘Centres may destroy any unclaimed certificates by a secure method (for example by shredding or incineration) after holding them for a period of 12 months from the date of issue’. Replacement exam certificates can be obtained from the relevant exam board but this can be costly. Typically, exam boards charge around £50 for replacement certificates. Please therefore ensure you keep your certificates in a safe place.
Certificates must be collected by the candidate unless the following form is printed and completed by the exam candidate whose certificates are being collected:
