new employer wants to see my O & A Level certificates, these were over 30 years ago and lost in house moves over that time.
is it possible to get reprints?
Wow, not been asked to see mine since the 90s
No-one's asked to see mine since ever.
I demand to see a copy of your Cycling Proficiency badge before you make any more posts on this forum.

Shit. Rumbled. I have a PADI certificate, does that count?
Teachers have to provide originals of all qualifications when they get offered a job at a new Local authority.

Only if you're genuinely Irish.
That's bizarre - employers these days only want to know about the past 10 years, in most cases.
If I was the same ambitious, enthusiastic kid I was when I passed my o levels, I might actually be of use to someone! 😆

The bloke who sold it me was.....
Since i graduated in 1991 I have only ever been asked for my Degree classification once.
"Teachers have to provide originals of all qualifications when they get offered a job at a new Local authority."
Only degree certs ime. I did have to find my gcse english and maths certs for teacher training...my mum still had them which was a shock
Did you have to fill in the application form using a quill! Just who is it you've gone to work for
unrelated but i often have to show my certificats of higher education to gain work permits into countries
i use my degree of mech eng.
my colleague uses a city and guilds in carpentry certificate
We do the same job. it humoured me .
I've just recently submitted my application for corporate membership / CEng registration.
I had to provide certified copies of my post school certificates and details of my courses.
they came back asking me for start dates. For 1982, 1987 and 1990... Er... August? September?
I then reminded them I am already stage 1 registered so it was all irrelevant anyways 😂
Turns out they’re not that bothered for an old git like me, more important for fresh out of school or recent graduates.
But it’s good to know I can get replacements if I really need to
if like me you forgot which boards you did your exams with there are two main ones (midland and southern were taken over)
AQA and OCR. Both have a search facility but charge you for the privilege. They wont issue new certificates but provide a certifying statement of your results.
I paid £160 to search gcse and a level results. I got both boards to search as I didn't know who I did my exams with. My old school had my results but not the boards. It can take up to 4 weeks.
