All you need to do then is ask the HSE if this company is still registered (if I remember correctly the Manchester office deals with this) they can confirm if the company is legitimate and their address.
Then simple phone the company up and ask them if they have a record of this student gaining the qualification.
It doesn’t happen often but I have encountered a few forged certificates and sad to say a few unregistered companies over the years.

That is the case, but it would rely on the SIA having those details and without the applicant proving the fact they have completed a first aid course, the SIA wouldn't have these details.
In effect there is no way the SIA can prove you have completed the training without a copy of your certificate.
