Missing City & Guilds certificates

[madfish]

I recently posted regarding taking steps to finish the qualification I started over 20 years ago. I passed my 236 Part 1 & 2 in 1990 however I no longer have the certificates due to water damage a long time ago. I spoke to C&G who told me they could give me copies for £44, 24hrs after payment they have told me they cannot find them and thanks for the money :32:.

They did mention if I had trained through a scheme (I did YTS), then it would have been done through them and could be hard to locate, I would have to contact them for details apparently but they no longer exist!.

All I have as proof is my 236 assessment book signed by the tutors and my final YTS scheme certificate that states I passed Part 1 but was still awaiting my Part 2 result (which I passed).

Am I screwed? I am guessing that If I were to eventually join the NICEIC etc I would have to produce some sort of proof I attended colledge, I do know how to contact one of my tutors from back then who is actually a NICEIC inspector now, could he verify my credentials with a cover letter?, any advice appreciated.

Difficult one that. Hope you get it sorted though.

Looks like your Niceic inspector is your only hope, good luck!

I would pay the money for my certs if I were you.

Not aware the niceic would ask for your certs best to get them obviously

That's the point they can't find them and its already cost him money to tell him they lost them.

Well at the least you want your money back on what grounds are they refusing you a refund

Yep okay DW, reread post, can't believe that City and Guilds cannot supply duplicates.?

I still have all my 15th edition diploma certs but after 26yrs of changes and overalls to the system I too wouldn't hold much hope of them finding me a copy, don't forget it was paper storage and floppy discs and most of the discs had a limited shelf life of good storage.
