I am not able to check a candidate's results using the online verification service.
Not all results can be checked using this website, for example the following types of exam results cannot be verified: exams taken before 2005, teaching qualifications (except Delta Module 1).

In cases where it is necessary to verify a result which is not within this system, we may still be able to verify the results. Institutions should apply for a certifying statement. You can download an applications form here .
