Verify an award
How to arrange for a former student's award to be verified, or to request a reference.
COVID-19 and getting verification
Because of the current circumstances involving Coronavirus (COVID-19) we're working at home in line with government guidelines. This means we're unfortunately not able to offer verification documentation in hard-copy at the moment.
