Fees
You'll have to pay an annual fee for each learner who's active in the Unit Award Scheme (UAS).
An active learner is someone who achieves at least one unit over the course of an academic year.
Our fees are based on the number of active learners that are taking part in the scheme at your centre. They cover the cost of certification and include printing and postage.
There are no limits applied on the number of units used or certificates issued.
If you have less than 499 learners
If you have over 500 learners
If you have over 1000 learners
Replacement certificates
We issue replacements for lost or damaged certificates or where student details are incorrect, charging £7.75 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.
