How to earn a FutureLearn certificate?
Written by Pat Bowden | Last updated on March 22nd, 2023
Looking for a listing of FutureLearn courses?
Class Central has found some courses that offer a free upgrade and digital certificate. See FutureLearn Courses That Still Offer Free Certificates.
For many other FutureLearn courses, you need to select Upgrade or FutureLearn Unlimited and pay the amount displayed. Payment methods include Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards and PayPal. You also need to earn 70% or more in any course tests and/or exams that are only available to students who have paid. You can upgrade before, during, or after a course. You may even be able to upgrade after your original access to the course has finished. Be sure to complete tests or exams after upgrading to be eligible for the certificate. You may only be allowed one or two attempts at test and exam questions, so be sure to know the work well before answering the questions.
Premium courses and ExpertTracks offer certificates, but no free audit option. There may be a free trial or money-back period.
