[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225085, member: 42112"] Hey! No worries at all - welcome to the forum! Regarding your question: most UK firms will carry out academic verification after an offer is made, and the exact documents they ask for can vary. For example, I was asked to bring my A-Level and GCSE certificates for one of my vacation schemes, but I was never actually asked to provide them in the end! However, I think a lot of firms do want evidence of most of your academic history. Generally, they almost always request: [LIST] [*]University transcripts, and [*]Proof of earlier requirements if they were part of the firm's minimum academic requirements [/LIST] Since you're applying for one firm that does not have A-level requirements, they may not need your earlier school transcripts. However, some firms do ask for secondary school transcripts simply to complete their background checks. If your school transcripts are in another language, you don't necessarily need to have them readily translated unless the firm specifically asks for them. What you can do is: [LIST] [*]Have digital / original copies ready [*]Wait to see exactly what HR requests if you get an offer [*]Then arrange translations only if needed - sometimes there may be other ways to verify your grades! [/LIST] So, I wouldn't rush to pay for translations unless HR confirms they need those documents. If you're unsure, you could always email the early careers team - theyr'e usually more than happy to answer any queries! I hope that helps, and wishing you the best of luck with your ACs - I'm sure you'll smash them!! :) [/QUOTE]

Verification
Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
