Your certificate of achievement will be the only document issued to attest to your work, unless you request otherwise. If you request a letter of reference or a transcript of your marks to give to an employer, prospective employer, or educational institution, it will be sent only to the specific address that you provide. A fee of US$50 will be charged for each letter or transcript.

If the organization paying for your studies requests an assessment of your performance or your marks, these will be provided to the requesting organization and to you.
