This article explains how the reward process works, including claiming your reward, updating your address, shipping timelines, and tracking information.
How to Claim Your Physical Reward
Step 1 – Claim Your Reward
After successfully passing your certification exam, you can request your complimentary physical reward directly from your course homepage.
Once you've passed your certification, you'll see an option on your course homepage to claim your physical reward.
To submit your request:
• Open your certification homepage
• Select the reward claim option
• Enter your shipping details carefully
• Submit your request
Once submitted, the reward status will update to “Processed”

Step 2 – Packaging Phase
If your reward status shows “Packaging”, your reward is currently being prepared and queued for dispatch.
📦 Important: The packaging and preparation stage may take approximately 2–4 months depending on shipping volume and operational demand.
Step 3 – Dispatch & Tracking
Once your package has been dispatched, you'll receive an email containing:
- A dispatch confirmation
- Tracking information where available
⚠️ Please note: we are unable to expedite parcels.
Step 4 – After Dispatch
Once your reward has been dispatched, delivery times may vary depending on your location and local courier services.
UK deliveries are usually faster, while international shipments may take longer due to:
Customs processing
Local courier handovers
Regional postal delays
Important:
Tracking updates may become limited after the parcel leaves the UK, particularly for international deliveries.
If your reward has not arrived within the expected timeframe, please contact Support and the team will investigate the shipment for you.
Shipping & Tracking Information
Physical rewards are currently shipped using Royal Mail.
For some international deliveries:
Tracking may stop updating after the parcel leaves the UK
Tracking visibility depends on the local courier in your country
Customs processing and local handovers may affect delivery times
More details here: Tracking Delivery Sent Outside UK
Important:
For some international destinations, tracking on the Royal Mail website may stop updating once the parcel leaves the UK. This is a known limitation and does not necessarily mean your parcel has stopped moving. Once it arrives in your country, it is typically handed over to your local postal service for final delivery, which may provide additional tracking updates.
If your reward has not arrived after the estimated timeframe, please contact Support for assistance.
What to Expect During Delivery
Once the parcel arrives in your country, it is handed over to your local postal service for final delivery. At this point, tracking updates from Royal Mail may stop, and delivery tracking will continue through your national postal provider instead.
Important:
- Couriers do not guarantee phone calls or notifications before delivery
- Delivery attempts, cards, or collection notices are not guaranteed by couriers
- Continue monitoring your tracking information and ensure someone is available on the expected delivery date
If you have specific delivery instructions (a safe place, a preferred time), contact your local postal service directly once the parcel is in their hands.
What Affects Delivery Times?
Physical reward delivery times are influenced by several factors, including:
Exam completion volume
Packaging queue size
Courier and postal delays
Customs processing, Physical Reward Customs, Duties & Shipping Information
International shipping logistics
Most rewards arrive within approximately 2–4 months from the original request date.
Claiming Your Reward
You can claim your certification physical reward at any time after earning it. Once claimed, your parcel enters the shipping process.
Investigating Undelivered Parcels
If your parcel doesn't arrive, you have a 3-month window from the dispatch date to report it to us. This gives us time to investigate with the courier while their tracking records are still accessible.
Important:
- Report undelivered parcels within 3 months of dispatch for investigation
- Claims reported after 3 months cannot be investigated, as courier records are typically purged
Re-delivery After the Claim Window
If your parcel is undelivered and you report it after the 3-month window, you can request a re-shipment for a re-delivery fee of £30.
To arrange a re-delivery, raise a support ticket and include your original order reference and current delivery address.
