Hoping for some advice, I have completed the online application to the RFA however hit a bit of a snag with uploading Certificates of Education, I am somewhat older than most applicants I am guessing being 48 and having served 20 years in the Police, now I know 20 years ago I produced the certificates to the Police but in the 20 years since I have lost them, probably when moving house at some point, I have looked online and I can likely obtain a statement of results from the local Education Authority but they won't supply certificates due to the time passed, not sure if the statement would suffice, any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated

Try your best to follow the official guidance on the link below for getting them (there is a section for if your exam board no longer exists); also there is no harm asking the RFA if they would accept something other than a certificate.

I tried submitting a 'statement of results' and it was declined, I had to obtain a certificate from the exam board which I had to pay for

Go to your old force HR first. I did 25yrs and had a look through my personal file when I left. They’d taken copies of everything.
