Private Candidates

Some awarding organisations offer direct routes for certain services. Contact our Exams Team first so we can confirm the right route, deadline, consent and fee.

What Happens After a Review?

We will communicate the outcome where the request was submitted through our Centre. It may confirm the original result or change the mark and/or grade.

Appeals

An appeal is not normally the first step. The appropriate post-results process usually needs to be completed first, and further deadlines apply.

Appeals information

Certificates

Your results statement is not your final certificate. We will contact you when the awarding organisation makes your certificate available.
