Exam Certificates

Summer 2025 exam certificates will be available for collection from December (dates to be confirmed).
Certificates should be collected by students, however if required you are able to authorise someone to collect them on your behalf by completing the attached Certificate Authority Collect form. They will need to bring this signed form and photo ID with them. It is important to collect your certificates as they are a legal document and it likely they will be required throughout your further academic or professional career.
We advise candidates that have moved home address during the academic year to update their address with the Information Desk at the front of the College if they have not already done so.
