How Long for the issue of DSC1 or 2

[Flyer4u0]

Hi
I was wondering how long the average guy waits for the issue of the DSC1 or 2 after completing the course.
regards
Norm

My DSC1 took 6 weeks and I haven't done DSC2 yet.

If I remember right was about 4 or 5 weeks for dsc1

I thought you were going to ask How long before the issue of DCS 1 or 2 comes up as a pointless debate again and gets locked!

Shouldn't be too much longer!

Yes have to agree with Monkey Spanker Dsc1 and Dsc2=Pointless

4-6 weeks is normal, it's the assessment centre and verification process that can drag it on. Get your trainer to chase it up after 6 weeks

Dsc 1, 6 weeks, dsc2 through barony 2 weeks.

I experienced a time of around six months for level 2 despite there being no issues with my portfolio. My AW has had several other people experience the same ridiculously long time also. I started a thread on here detailing the times, so although it appears some are lucky, others much less so.

I think it can depend on the assessment centre I have found BDS to be the slowest and North highland Collage /Barony to be the fastest. I am Not sure if they are BASC Approved centres or not.
PS That's for Level Two

got mine yesterday done it at gap 180 Collage /Barony i know the waiting is a pain but with now 22000+ and growing in the pot , i guess it takes some paper pushing to look at the new guys coming through by the day. I am happy to be a member and have joined in the dsc road clan done mine at GAP 180 as said and the crew were tops, and as you know you have passed knowing the paperwork and badge will arrive say 4/5 weeks later is no big thing in my mind, But on that note i wish it came with a small credit size card that can be kept safe to show the larder or any others Like FC that need to see that have passed. my certs came from BASC so they must be accredited i feel.

Thanks. BASC were quoting up to 14 weeks for DSC1 !!!!!

GO and find Paul @Collage /Barony try them you won't be disappointed but get him to get deer targets not great danes lol

 

[Flyer4u0]

Already completed mine nearly 4 weeks ago but still waiting for the cert.

I think when I done my L1 with BDS it was around six/eight weeks the L2 also with BDS about the same give or take.

Come on people, just what is the rush?
Just chill out for a while?

Hmm! I've been chilling and enjoying plenty of South African wine but was starting to get a bit twitchy as its 8 weeks since I completed my course. I'd quite like to know if I've passed or if I need to retake anything (I'm a bit concerned about the ID as I made at least 1 silly mistake!) so I can make arrangements for a time I'm in the UK. Rang BASC yesterday based on the expected ~ 6 weeks lead time from what I'd read here and been told by the trainer, only to be told that it can take up to 14 weeks as they have to be independently verified and that was taking time!

It's summer so a combination of shows and holidays is going to put the wait up a bit if staff away from their desks.

My mate did level one with BDS at end of June and had his cert within 10 days........................I completed my Level 2 last summer and it took three months for cert to arrive.......

Well having been told it could take 14 weeks, the certificate and all-important bronze badge turned up on Friday, only 3 days after I gave them a call. I actually hope the call had nothing to do with expediting it and its purely coincidence!
