    FAQs

    You can either contact your Training Organization to purchase a new exam, or you can purchase a new exam directly from our public exams website. For more information, see our more detailed article on resitting an exam.

    Using a company device in which you do not have administrative rights and access to download additional software tends to cause issues when sitting your exam via ProctorU, as outlined in the Candidate Guidance Agreement.  

    If you wish to sit your exam via ProctorU again, you will need to pay a reschedule fee of £32 (which you can do in the Candidate Portal) before you can select a new date and time.  

    Alternatively, you can reschedule your exam via our AIPP service, where you can take your exam over Zoom without downloading any additional software. Please note there are fewer exam slots available through AIPP.  

    Full details of our Proctoring options can be found on our Proctoring Page

    If you feel you had issues during your exam, you may submit an appeal to customerservice@apmgroup.co.uk. We will review your appeal and respond. See APMG’s policies for details on the full appeals process.

    To appeal your result, email a written request with supporting evidence to customerservice@apmgroup.co.uk. We will review your appeal and respond. See APMG’s policies for details on the full appeals process.

    Your results will be processed 6 to 12 hours after your exam. You will receive an email confirming your achievement and inviting you to the Candidate Portal where you can see your official result. From there, you can create your account in Credly.com and access your digital badge and certificate.

    Your training organization specified that they wish to view candidate results before releasing. If you would like your results sooner, you may contact your ATO directly and request your results that way. After they have released them, you will be able to create/view your Digital Badge and download your Digital Certificate in your Credly account in the Certificates section of your portal.

    Since 2018, we are no longer registered for AXELOS qualifications and are unable to provide the certificates.  

    If you received your AXELOS qualification before this time, you can contact customer service and upon providing your candidate number, ask if a copy of your certificate still exists in our system. 

    Alternatively, you can reach out to IT PeopleCert directly with this request quoting your candidate number.  

    If you do not have your candidate number, we can provide it to you. Additionally, we are happy to provide a letter of verification for any exams sat with us.

    When you pass an exam – you will instantly have the option to claim a digital badge as representation of your new certificate. Your badge can be embedded on an email signature, website, digital CV, or shared via LinkedIn.  

    Access the downloadable guide for more information on how to claim your digital badge.

    You can always access all your records, electronic certificates and badges via the APMG Candidate Portal.  

    Once you have logged on to the Candidate Portal, click on the ‘Badges and Certificates’ option from the menu bar at the top of screen. From here you should click on the ‘Create Badge/Certificate’ button. This will take you to the Credly platform to create an account and download your badge and certificate. 

    Step-by-step guidance is available to download from the ‘Badges and Certificates’ area in your Candidate Portal. 

    Electronic certificates are environmentally friendly, but you can print the certificate yourself at home or work, if required. 

    If you have any problems you are welcome to contact our customer service team.  

    If you previously sat an exam with us and were issued a paper certificate but would like to upgrade to a digital badge and e-certificate, please contact us. There is a £25 administration fee for providing a digital badge and a form for which you will need to complete to consent to your personal information being used in order to manually create the badge in Credly.com.
