Post results service and review of results (GCSE and BTEC only)

• Reviews of Results (RoRs):Clerical re-check; review of marking; review of moderation; appeals

Checking Certificates

Candidates should carefully check that the personal details (name, date of birth, etc.) and final grades shown on the certificates are correct; they will be required to sign to confirm they have collected and checked their certificates.

Certificates are important documents. Most educational institutions and potential employers will ask to see your original certificates. If you lose or fail to collect your Certificates, you will need to obtain duplicates from the relevant Awarding Body.
The College will keep certificates for 12 months. If they remain uncollected, they may be disposed of securely. The cost of reissue will be payable by the student. 

Unable to collect?

Candidates who are unable to collect their certificates in person and would like a friend or family member to collect them on their behalf should email: exams@brooklands.ac.uk

Have you collected your certificates for courses taken in 2022–2023, or before?

Time is running out to collect your certificates. If you haven’t already collected your certificates you need to collect them as a matter of priority as the College has permission to destroy certificates after a retention period of 12 months.
