When you're done, you have your certificate as a PDF and a link anyone can use to check it.

**Who this is for:** students who completed a course or learning path that gives a certificate.

## Get your certificate

You get it automatically when you complete the course (or the whole learning path). Go to **My courses**
and scroll to **Certificates**.

- **Download PDF** (1) saves your certificate. It's US Letter, landscape, ready to print.
- **Copy check link** (2) copies a link to its check page. Add it to your CV, profile or email so anyone
  can see that the certificate is real.

Each certificate has its own number, such as CB-7KQ2-M9XA-4HTD.

## The check page

Anyone with the link sees whether the certificate is valid, the course, the Academy, the date you
completed it and its number. Your name shows there only if the Academy has chosen to show names.

If the Academy replaces a certificate (for example, to fix your name), the old one's check page says it
was replaced, and the new one is in your **Certificates**. A certificate can also be revoked; its check
page then says so. A replaced or revoked certificate leaves your list, and its PDF can't be downloaded
any more.

## The name is wrong?

Your certificate uses the name the Academy has for you: the one your teacher added, or the one you gave
when you first signed in. If the Academy has no name for you, it shows your email address instead. Ask
the Academy to correct your name and reissue your certificate; the new one carries the corrected name.
