Unit Award Scheme

Certification

A Unit Award Scheme certificate is issued each time a student completes a unit. It lists all the unit outcomes, providing a record of the knowledge, skills and experiences achieved.
You can claim certificates regularly throughout the year. We issue them within 10 working days.

Replacement certificates

We issue replacements for lost or damaged certificates or where student details are incorrect, charging £7.45 each.
Replacement certificates are available for five years after the original issue date. They are dispatched within four weeks of a request being made.
To request a replacement certificate(s), email unitawardscheme@aqa.org.uk with the following information:

• your centre number
• student name(s), ID number(s) and date of birth
• unit code(s) and title(s)
• original cohort ID (if known)

Where a certificate for replacement is still available, please destroy it within your centre.
