- End of year certification — students can request a free print copy via their learning account by 31 January (of the year following certification). Copies are posted in March, once applications for verification have been finalised.
- Mid-year certification — students can request a free print copy via their learning account by 31 August (in the year of certification). Copies are posted in September, once applications for verification have been finalised.
Print requests received outside of the above timeframes will need to apply to the QCAA for a print copy (see How to apply to the QCAA below).
