Evidence of qualifications

9 replies

wombpaloumbpa · 11/06/2024 10:10

Before I start I know I've messed up, should have looked after my things more carefully.

I've lost all evidence of my qualifications from gcse, a level and possibly degree too.

Can anyone tell me how to get evidence of them? I obviously have the dates and the places I studied.

Been in the same job a long time and not needed them but now I'm applying for something new and the advert says I must have evidence.

Thank you

how old are you?

You need to reach out to the governing body who provides the qualifications and ask for a new certificate, they usually charge a fee but it's normally not that expensive.

How to get replacement O / A level and CSE certificates:

For replacement degree certificates just Google ‘university of xxx replacement degree certificate’ to find out how to do it. You might have to pay a fee plus postage and might have to send proof of ID.

Sorry just realised I have posted this in retirement! My mistake. I'm 41.

Thanks everyone for the helpful information

I needed evidence of O Level English and Maths before I could get onto my PGCE course. Ended up spending a day in my parents loft rummaging through stuff. Luckily I found the certificates

You need to ring the exam boards, schools only keep data on you untill you turn 25. You can ring the school to find out which exam board you would have taken though they should have that info.
New certificates were £30 each when my DBro had to get them 10 years ago so I'd imagine theyll be around £50 each now.

@Singleandproud omg so if I did 10 GCSEs it's per cert? 😟

Have a look at the guidance I poster as it sounds like it might have changed

I have one certificate per exam boards so some have more GCSEs listed on them than others. But it looks like they issue a statement of result now rather than certificates
