it would appear that being able to do science quite well does not help in the whole "wisdom/common sense" areas of life.

Did they ask to see it? If not then I'd not panic (though they cost a fortune to get replaced).
Good luck.

can't you get these certificates on 'tinternet?

Agriv8 - 21/1/10 at 10:28 PM

It will be in the last place you look for it.

think logically go through each room logically.

Oh and if you have move house you will have put it somwhere safe like in the first few pages of a big book .

Try and think back to when you may have last had it.

good luck

i have given up! it says any certificates you dont have can be forwarded to the university after the interview.

Its a good job this is just a trial run for Nottingham uni

thank you for the well wishes everyone, i will try to make locosters proud

Your university will give out proof of your qualifications for free. I had to do this twice. Once in Japan and once in Greece to satisfy immigration not the employer.

If it helps, I lost mine too.

Of course, to get a copy, they need your matric number.
Yeah, like I remember that seeing as it's 16 years since I graduated.

Thankfully, swmbo has a niece who works in the office of the place and found me on the system.
My matric number is now saved on my mobile phone

Until you loose the phone, then your back to square one!

I don;t know where mine is either, my A-levels certificates are till back at shoold - we heard that the shcool had to keep them forever so me and a mate wanted to see who would crack first ..... not me that is for sure!!!?

Ninehigh - 24/1/10 at 08:33 AM

I never got my A-level certificates in the first place, only ever been asked for them once. And employers wonder why I can never be bothered

scudderfish - 24/1/10 at 10:03 AM
