Lost Certificates

[NoMercy]

Well, as many of you know I started work again this week but it's not a substantive post.

I had an interview today for a really, REALLY good, permanent job. The interview went well but they have asked for copies of my NVQ certificates which I lost some years back. The company with whom I gained the Quals went bust in the late nineties.

Any ideas? xx

Does previous employer(s) have copies?
The results must be somewhere official but can't think of where at the moment. Just a stab in the dark really.

ps nice to see you NoM xx

Any idea who the awarding body were?

Do you know which exam board issued them? For example, if they were Edexcel you would start here:

Found this:

''Lost certificates? The good news is it should be fairly straightforward if you know who your awarding body is, the bad news is it may cost you some money. Just call or email the awarding body that issued your original certificate. Here are a few of the larger awarding bodies.

* OCR - http://www.ocr.org.uk
* Edexcel (Btech) - http://www.edexcel.com
* City & Guilds - http://www.cityandguilds.com

If you are unsure who your awarding body was then you have a harder task. Especially as some awarding bodies may have changed name or been taken over. Try searching on Google for your qualification and the awarding bodies that offer it. Talk to your old training provider or colleagues that took the same qualification.

Note that awarding bodies may now be called awarding organisations.''

I have got a scooby, Ellipsis :-(

Hi anyway to Sher and Alba x

[NoMercy]

Gracias, Snags. That's a good place to start.

I've got 'til 04 October to produce copies.

Hi NoM, do you keep in touch with any of your old colleagues who might have done the same/similar qualifications? Thee are so many awarding bodies for NVQs that you might have some trouble remembering which one you did yours with.

Have a look here and see if your NVQ listed - something might ring a bell.
