If this is for a Moodle or Micro Course your certificate will be available online at the end of your course. You can save this and print as and when required.
If you are studying an Awarding Body certified course e.g. Level 2 or 3 then it can take a few months to receive your certificate. This timeframe can be substantial during busy periods.
Once you have passed your course, your work will be in a stage of moderation for one month. After this you will receive an email confirmation of completing your course and a date to expect receipt of your certificate. Once you have received this email we will begin to work with the Awarding Body to claim your certificate.
