The Candidate Group Authentication Form provides all the information that you need to complete the authentication process.

Please note that the form must be completed by two tutors or assessors to ensure the required authenticity and quality procedures have been followed for each group of students.

Students are also required to authenticate all work at the point of submission for assessment. Centres have flexibility in how they obtain a declaration of authenticity from students. An example of a student declaration statement can be found in the Candidate Group Authentication Form, or you may wish to use our ‘Individual’ Candidate Authentication Form provided.
