When and how will I receive my certificate?
Written by Pat Bowden | Last updated on July 20th, 2024
Certificates are delivered digitally and are often available immediately after you complete the required coursework and pass the assessments. Sometimes, however, there can be a delay of a few days or even weeks. If there will be a delay, the course information page usually advises when to expect the certificate. The certificate may arrive in an email or via a link on the course pages. You can download it, attach it to your resume, share it through social media and/or print it yourself. Some course providers send a paper copy, possibly for an extra fee, to anywhere in the world.
We recommend you download and save your certificate in a secure location. Do not rely on the provider to keep a record of your achievement indefinitely.
Not all courses offer a certificate. See Will I receive a certificate?
Course pages include certificate information. If a certificate is not mentioned in the panel on a course information page, it is unlikely to be available. Class Central is a search engine for online courses and is not involved in running the courses or issuing certificates. For specific questions about receiving your certificate, look for a Help, Support, Or Contact us link on the course provider's site.
