Can I buy the certificate before I finish the course?
The short answer
Yes. Choose Pay now on your course card under Certificates, or Enrol with certificate on the course page. The certificate is issued the day you pass the final assessment, with nothing more to pay.
Paying early
While you learn
Choose Pay now and pay once
Before you pass
Nothing to download yet
The day you pass
The certificate is issued
Afterwards
Nothing more to pay
Yes. If you already know you want the certificate, you can pay for it while you study.
From your portal
- Open Certificates in your portal. Your course in progress shows a card, Get your certificate now.
- Choose Pay now and complete the payment.
From the course page
- Enrol with certificate puts the course and its certificate in your cart together.
- Add certificate to cart keeps the certificate in your cart marked as kept for later.
What happens next:
- You keep learning as normal. The course stays free.
- The certificate is issued the day you pass the final assessment. Until then it cannot be downloaded.
- You pay nothing more when you pass.
Paying early does not pass the final for you: you still have to finish the modules and pass it. If you would rather pay only once you have passed, wait: Get my certificate appears when you do.
