Please be advised that we strongly recommend you collect your examination certificates when they are available, as it will be a time-consuming and costly process for you to have them replaced by the exam boards. It is highly likely that you will need them at some point in the future. 

Exam certificates may be disposed of after a retention period of one year. This meets the requirements of the JCQ Council for Qualification’s General Regulations. 

Important exam information, including regulations, can be found here. There are also additional links to privacy notices, permissions, policies, and post result services.
