Certificates can be accessed at the end of a course or from your account.
End of a Course
Once you have reached 100% completion, a button to Get Your Certificate will appear.
You will be taken to a certificate preview page. At the bottom of the page, click on Download PDF to print or save the certificate to your computer.
From Your Account:
- Sign in. Once you are signed in, you will see your Student Dashboard.
- Click your name on the top right.
- In the dropdown menu, click My Account.
- Click Certificates.
- Click View.
You will be taken to the same completion screen as the one in the course. On this screen, you can view the certificate, copy the link so that you can share your certificate, or download the certificate as a PDF.
Printing the Certificate
To view the certificate as a PDF, you will need a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader, which is available at no cost. Once you open the certificate in Adobe Reader or a similar program, you can use commands in that program to print the certificate.
If you do not have a PDF reader, you can save the preview screen as an image, and print that image. While the process may vary depending upon your computer and browser, general instructions are to right-click and select Save as Image.
Troubleshooting
Q: I finished everything but the button for Get Your Certificate did not appear in my course.
A: Thinkific believes you haven't finished everything. Go back into each lesson and make sure you have clicked on every "Complete and Continue" button ... including the final lesson with instructions about the certificate. Once you have done this, you should see that your progress in the course is now at 100% and the button to Get Your Certificate appears.
