So, who still has their GCSE certificates?

So, I'm 36, I've been working 20 years and my new employer wants to see my GCSE certificates. So yes kids, they are important

Admin/receptionist job.

Lost them years ago during a house move and its going to cost me several forms of I.D and £45.00 to get them from AQA.

Who else still has theirs 15+ years later?

Yes (GCE) 50 years later!

I have my CSE cert 😊

Record of achievement is just a plastic wallet with space for each certificate.

My children’s came with a school reference, attendance etc

I still have mine. I've needed them for most jobs.

Getting certain GCSE grades was a requirement for my first graduate job, and proving I wasn't a liar was a requirement for every pretty much other job thereafter.

It's such a bloody faff. I got good grades, so I have nothing to hide, but why they can't be linked to an electronic register employers can look up, I don't know. Surely bits of paper can be easily faked? And I can't be bothered keeping hold of them every time I move.

Mine are in a folder a long with other certificates gained as an adult
