Please note: The time frame of results being available will depend on the exam that the candidate undertook.

If candidates wish to hold an original hard copy, they still have the option to purchase a paper certificate.

The content and quality of our paper certificates have not changed and optional purchase instructions will be provided to candidates when they receive an email notification to let them know that their digital certificate is ready. Trinity charges a small fee for this service.

A digital certificate is an electronic document that shows proof of a qualification. It looks the same and carries the same validity as a paper certificate. It offers many benefits to candidates, such as fast and secure delivery. Candidates can share it online as a link, PDF or QR code. Candidates also have the ability to download and electronically store the digital certificate.

Trinity has engaged with Accredible, a trusted company, to offer this service.

Digital certificates are only available to individual candidates who have achieved a Drama group exam. However, we will be continuing to offer an overall group certificate which you will receive in hard copy via post. This certificate will be phased out in 2024, you will receive more information on this change in due course.
