Free course certificates

Free courses with certificates: learn free, prove it for £19

Free and paid

What is free, and what costs £19

Verification

How an employer checks a certificate

Every certificate has its own number and a QR code. Scanning the code, or entering the number on the verification page, shows the record we hold: the learner, the course and the date.

  • Verification is free for anyone and needs no account.
  • It confirms that EDWartens UK issued the certificate and that the learner passed the final exam.
  • It does not confirm any outside accreditation, because there is none: see the section below on what the certificate is not.

Plainly

What it is, and what it is not

We would rather you know exactly what you are buying.

  • It is proof that you completed a free online course and passed its final exam.
  • It is not a regulated or accredited qualification, and it carries no academic credit.
  • It is not issued or endorsed by any software vendor named in a course.
  • It does not guarantee a job or an interview. It is evidence you can show.

Questions

Certificate questions

Do I have to buy the certificate?
No. Every free course is free to learn in full, including the quizzes and the final exam. The certificate is optional.
When do I get it?
The moment you pass the course's final exam. You can pay before or after you pass; if you pay first, it is issued automatically when you pass.
What does it cost?
£19 per course, including VAT. There are no other fees.
What do I need to pass?
The final exam has 15 questions and a pass mark of 60%. You have 3 attempts, then a 24-hour wait before a fresh paper.
How can an employer check it?
Every certificate has its own number and a QR code. Scanning the code or entering the number at edwartens.co.uk/verify shows the record we hold.
Is it an accredited qualification?
No. It is a certificate of completion from WARTENS LTD: it shows you completed a free online course and passed its final exam. It is not a regulated qualification and carries no academic credit.
Can I cancel?
A certificate is digital content supplied when it is issued, so the 14-day right to cancel ends once it is issued. If you paid in advance and have not passed yet, you can cancel within 14 days for a full refund. See cancellations and refunds.
