Certificates
If you have passed your exam, your certificate will be sent to your British Council examination centre approximately 9 weeks after your results are released. Certificates for computer based exams are available 6 weeks after you take the exam. You will also receive an e-mail notifying that your certificate is available for collection.
No certificate will be issued without a valid proof of identity.
If you cannot collect the certificate in person, you can authorise another person. To do so – you can download the form below.
We will send your certificate by post based on an email request. However, for security reasons, we do not recommend this option. Please note that if the certificate is lost in transit between the exam centre and the candidate, it is possible to apply for a replacement certificate within the timeframe of 6 to 12 months after the exam date. If this condition is not met, a replacement certificate cannot be provided and you will be liable for all costs we incur in providing a certifying statement.
Certificates for Young Learners
You will receive an award from Cambridge English Language Assessment, showing your performance in each part of the test – Listening, Reading and Writing and Speaking.
For each part of the test you get one or more Cambridge shields (up to a maximum of five) so you could get a total of 15 shields for the whole test.
Young Learners certificates are issued approximately 8 weeks after the date of your examination. You can collect the certificate in person at the British Council centre or from your school where you sat the exam or if you wish, we can send it to you by post. Everyone who completes their test receives an award, which focuses on what they could do, it gives them credit for having taken part in the test.
Result Verification Service
Result Verification Service is used by universities, immigration authorities and other professional organisations to verify a candidate’s result. You choose which of these organisations can see your photo, by giving them your ID number and a password which you can set up through the Cambridge English online service website.
