Employers or agencies
We are pleased to announce the implementation of the Higher Education Degree Datacheck (Hedd) online verification service for employers and agencies to verify Cardiff Met awards. Please note that this service is only for third parties.
The system has been developed by Graduate Prospects, in consultation with universities, employers and screening agencies. Funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and launched by Graduate Prospects, Hedd is now being used by many institutions throughout the UK.
The online candidate verification service allows registered enquirers to input data provided by applicants (name, date of birth, institution, year of graduation, qualification classification etc).
How to register
To make an enquiry you need to register with Hedd by visiting
www.hedd.ac.uk. Select ‘Cardiff Metropolitan University’ from the list of UK higher education institutions and choose the option to 'verify a degree award'. There is a charge of £12 per enquiry. If you require further assistance, please email
heddhelp@prospects.ac.uk. You will also be required to upload a consent form.
Making an enquiry
You’ll need the individual’s name, date of birth, course and qualification. For graduates you'll also need their year of graduation and degree result. If you require dates of attendance, please request this at the time of making the enquiry.
We recommend that you ask to see the degree certificate if there is one, and use that as the basis of your verification enquiry, or ask individuals to give you their data as they believe it’s recorded in the student records system. If the information submitted is an exact match to the information held within the student record, your request will automatically be verified. If the information does not match all fields, then the enquiry will go to the team at Cardiff Met for manual verification, with a five working-day turnaround time
Help
If you have any problems or queries, please email
heddhelp@prospects.ac.uk, including your phone number if you would like a call back.
