How do I get my Certificate?
Updated over 3 months ago

To fully complete a course, you must study all sections of the course and score at least 80% in each assessment. Check you have completed all the sections in your course by looking for a green tick beside each completed section.

Once you have completed your course and passed your assessments, your Certificate will be available to purchase straight from the Shop.

How much does it cost?

Users can pay a nominal fee to automatically download Digital Certificates or purchase paper or framed Certificates that are shipped via mail. For a more detailed list of the costs, visit the Shop page.

You don’t have to purchase a Certificate in order to certify. You can access your Learner Report showing that you have completed the course.

How do I claim my Certificates?

All learning on Alison is free. After you complete a course, you are given the option to purchase a digital or printed version of your achievement.

Your Alison Transcript also includes a link that can be used to verify your achievement.
