Distribution of Certificates Policy

Distribution of Certificates Policy
MEaP

Policy Statement Distribution of  Certificates to Learners

  • To ensure MACTRI complies with obligations as an accredited centre for Open Awards we aim to always adhere to principles of good practice to ensure that our qualifications, irrespective of regulatory status, are fit for purpose and that they are delivered with integrity in a manner which best promotes and protects the interests of their users.
  • As such, we are committed to ensuring that all learners who have demonstrated the appropriate level of attainment, by means of the necessary assessment, receive results and certificates in a timely manner.
  • The only instances where it is acceptable to withhold results or certificates from learners are those where there are cases of suspected malpractice on the part of either the centre or the learner, or where there is reasonable evidence to suggest that there is a risk to the integrity of the results being issued.
  • In such circumstances, MACTRI may either withhold results or certificates prior to sending them to centres for distribution to learners or instruct centres to hold back those results or certificates until such a time as any investigation is completed and issues are rectified. MACTRI will not withhold results or certificates and does not permit centres to do so, on financial grounds.
