When you complete a paid Finxl course, you will receive a certificate of completion, which you can share with your friends, relatives, co-workers and potential employers. Certificates of completion help demonstrate your accomplishments, but please note Finxl is not an accredited institution, and as a result, the certificates cannot be used for formal accreditation.

Please note: free courses and courses that only include practice tests do not offer a certificate of completion.

When all the curriculum items of a course have been completed, a green trophy will appear above the course player, and you will see a notification indicating the certificate of completion is ready. Click on the trophy to view the certificate.

Certificates can be saved as a .pdf or .jpg file so that you can easily share your accomplishment. In addition, certificates can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn directly from Finxl. The certificate will look something like this:

Certificates of completion can be accessed at Finxl.com and the mobile site, but not through the mobile apps. If you've completed a course on the mobile app please log into Finxl.com through a browser to access your certificate.

I’ve completed my course and the trophy has appeared, but when I click on it, I can’t see a certificate. Why?

Occasionally the system may need a few moments to generate a certificate of completion, after a course has been completed. Wait a couple of minutes and then try clicking on the trophy again. You may also need to refresh the page, or clear your cache and cookies, in order to see your certificate.

Do all courses offer certificates of completion?

No. Currently only paid, approved courses offer a certificate of completion. Free courses and courses that only include practice tests do not offer a certificate of completion.

If you have enrolled in a free course prior to March 17, 2020 you will retain access to your certificate of completion for those free courses only.
