Frequently asked questions
Is this an accredited qualification?
No. Certificates record self-directed learning with an 80% pass mark. They are not identity checks or proof of workplace compliance.
Can I retry a quiz?
Yes. Review the explanations and start another attempt. Previously issued certificates stay in your learning record.
Can someone verify a certificate online?
