Results and certificates
All candidates receive a mark form giving a breakdown of their marks with comments from the examiner. Mark forms are available online to view and download in your account.
We send you an email when your results are available. We aim to release results within one week of your exam date or the date when you submitted your video recording but this can take up to 28 days. However, we are currently in a period of high demand for Performance Grades which means that results are taking longer than usual.
