A wallet card for their phone

Each certificate also comes as a front-and-back wallet card. Students can save it as an image on their phone or print it and cut it out.

Verification and records

Students find every certificate on their profile with a CE hours report. Employers scan the QR code, or use your Verify a Certificate page, to confirm it is genuine without logging in.
