Hi
I’ve just completed my RSA course face to face, how long will it take before I receive it in the mail?
Hi Julian,
Thank you for your message. This all depends on who you did you RSA Course with. From my experience it usually takes 10 working days to get your RSA Certificate. If you passed the course then I believe you are able to start working before your certificate arrives. It shouldn’t take too long, perhaps contact the training provider you completed the course with? 🙂
Hope this helps
