Downloading your certificates and what's on them

For teachersLast reviewed September 25, 2026

My Certificates, in the left menu, lists every certificate you've earned, with its issue date, type, status, and a download button. Use your certificates as proof of completion for your school, district, or licensing authority.

Opening My Certificates, downloading a certificate, and viewing certificate history.

Download a certificate

  1. Click My Certificates in the left menu.
  2. Find the course. Use Search by course, or the status filter (Active, Expiring, Expired).
  3. Click the download icon.

You can also download certificates from My Account, under Your Certificates.

The history icon opens earlier versions of a certificate. If a certificate has never been reissued, its history is empty.

What's on your certificate

  • PD course certificates show your name, the course title, the hours you earned, the date, a signature, and a unique Certificate Reference Number.
  • Graduate credit certificates also show the university's logo, the number of credits, and instructions for getting your credits. The certificate itself isn't university credit: your transcript comes from the university after you pay for your credits. See Paying for your credits.

Your certificates use the name on My Account. See Updating your account.

Some states need more than this certificate. See Your state's certificate requirements. Bought your course through a partner? See Certificates for courses bought through a partner.
