What the number means
A certificate number is built from the course and level, the date it was issued, four random digits, and the grade — so no two are alike:
SCR-L01-2606089059-D- SCR-L01 — the course and level. Here, Scratch Level 1.
- 260608 — the date it was issued: 8 June 2026.
- 9059 — four random digits, so two certificates issued on the same day never collide.
- D — the grade. D is Distinction, P is Pass.
Certificates issued before this scheme, including those carried over from our earlier records, have a different-looking number. They are just as genuine, and this page checks them the same way — enter the number exactly as printed.
Questions
Why is the name partly hidden?
These certificates belong mostly to children. Showing the full name to anyone who types a number would mean a guessed number reveals a child's name and which centre they attend. The first name and the shape of the rest are enough to confirm a certificate in front of you is the one on record.
It says “no record” but I am holding the certificate.
Check the number character by character first — 0/O and 1/I are the usual culprits. If it is definitely right, the certificate may have been withdrawn, or it may not be ours. Contact the centre named on it, or get in touch with us.
Can I look up a person instead of a number?
No. This page only answers questions about a number you already hold. There is no way to search by name, school or date, which is deliberate — it keeps the check useful without turning our records into a directory.
This page lives at advaspire.io/verify, the address printed on the certificate itself.
