Certificates issued pre-2009
Payments can be taken by credit or debit card over the telephone by our Customer Support team via +44 (0) 23 8068 4500. Fees:
- Replacement for a certificate issued post-1995: £35.00
- Replacement for a certificate issued pre-1995: VTCT is unable to issue replacement certificates in this instance. Where the original certificate was issued pre-1995 an Academic Transcript letter will be issued. VTCT will search archive records and the letter will detail any achievement found. There is a non-refundable fee of £60.00 for this service.
VTCT introduced a redesigned certificate in 2017, with additional security features. If the original certificate was issued before this date and we cannot print it in full, we will send a letter confirming all full awards completed as shown on our records.
Please note: If your certificate was issued less than 6 months ago, VTCT’s Quality Assurance team are required to authenticate the claim for your certificate with your centre of study before a replacement can be issued. Providing authentication is confirmed, VTCT will then contact you to obtain the appropriate fee.
If your original certificate was awarded by IIHT/IHBC the replacement will now be a VTCT certificate.
All replacement certificates will be annotated “Replacement” as agreed with the regulatory authorities. We cannot enter into any correspondence regarding awards that do not appear on our records.
Please note: Only if the reason for replacement is acceptable to VTCT (e.g. lost, stolen, destroyed etc) will a replacement certificate be issued. Once the search has been completed, this fee is non-refundable.
