Provisional Maths results for a Standard

Edited

None

Looking at the acceptable English & Maths qualifications for Standards document 

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/949625/Apprenticeship_standards_English_and_maths_list.ods

it says this:

"If an apprentice does not have a certificate and/or a provisional notification of results or a statement of results from the awarding organisation, the provider can ask the apprentice to get a replacement certificate...."

The way I read it, this means that provisional notifications of results are acceptable, as it says ...."and/OR provisional notification of results....".

What makes me uncertain is the strange wording of "a certificate AND/or a provisional notification of results". 

Once you have a certificate, you don't need anything else, so that "AND" is peculiar. It makes me doubt my understanding of the provisional results part, as it's all one sentence.

What do you understand by this?

Yes I think it is only interpretation of the and /or, but either can be used as evidence.

‘a certificate and/or a provisional notification of results or a statement of results from the awarding organisation’

Good afternoon

Further to the above where the Oct 2022 version also says 'Where a provisional statement of results is accepted as evidence, the provider must check that the grade achieved on the provisional statement did not change when the apprentice's final results were confirmed. ' how are you checking/evidencing this and at what stage - presumably this means you still have to have checked/hold evidence which is formalised and not just provisional to meet the rules but it is not clear when this is needed by?
