Certificate

What is the certificate for?

Access to courses is free in "Audit" mode, however you can request an electronic certificate for a fee determined by the course providers.

Some courses in "Honor" mode offer you the certificate free of charge, courtesy of the institution that created the content.

Highlight your hard work and new knowledge with a certificate to improve your job prospects and advance your career, or highlight your certificate when applying for admission.

Benefits of the certificate

  • Official: Receive a certificate signed by the instructor with the institution's logo
  • Shareable: Add the e-certificate to your resume or post it directly to social media
  • Motivating: Give yourself an additional incentive to complete the course
  • Altruistic: EDUlib, a non-profit organization, ensures its funding by the purchase of the certificates. This funding is used to improve and update courses, maintain the EDUlib platform and create new courses.

 

You will be able to request the right to upgrade (verified) at any time up to two weeks before the end of the course. The deadline for upgrading will be indicated at all times on the course homepage.

  • First, you will take a photo of yourself. Next, you will take a photo of a government issued photo ID.
  • Next, you will be asked to reconfirm that your name exactly matches your ID. Please click on "Next".
  • Finally, you will see a page with your two photos, as well as your name. After confirming your information, click "Submit".

Please allow 24 to 48 hours for this step. Our agents verify identities daily, Monday through Friday. During the verification period, your dashboard will display a message informing you that the application is being processed.
