Certificates

When you complete a Course (in most cases) you will receive a Course Completion Certificate: 

The Course Completion Certificate can be downloaded as a PDF for printing or sharing with others.  Your Certificate may look different depending on the course you completed, and some courses do not have Certificates. 

Note that this is not the same as Certification, which usually requires strict testing and identify verification, plus other requirements depending on the Certification authority. 

Digital Badges

Some courses will earn a Digital Badge upon successful completion: 

The Digital Badge design will vary based on the course it's associated with.  Digital Badges highlight the skills and accomplishments of completing the course, and can be easily posted to your LinkedIN profile using the “Add to My LinkedIN Profile” button. 

Special Badges can be earned for completing specific sets of Courses.
