Certificates can take up to 12 weeks to process. Once you've completed your course, we might need to send your coursework for quality assurance. As our qualifications are nationally recognised and accredited, we'll then need to claim your certificate from the awarding organisation. A physical copy of your certificate will be sent out in the post to the address given at the time of enrolment. Please wait 12 weeks after you have passed your course before contacting us about your certificate.
