Access Arrangements

Access arrangements are agreed in accordance with JCQ regulations and are based on a student's individual needs and normal way of working.

Certificates

Students will be emailed when their examination certificates are available for collection. The email will include details of collection arrangements and how certificates can be posted if required. Postage costs must be paid by the recipient.

Certificates can only be collected by the student. If a student wishes another person to collect certificates on their behalf, they must provide written authorisation naming the person who will be collecting them.

Wymondham College retains uncollected certificates for two years from the date of issue, after which they will be securely destroyed in accordance with JCQ requirements.

Former students with queries about certificates should contact College Office. Where certificates are no longer held by the College, former students should contact the relevant awarding organisation regarding replacement documentation.
