I passed the Identity Challenge successfully and scored enough course points. When will I receive my certificate?

The certificate will be generated electronically within a month.

You can preview your results in the "Progress" tab inside the online course. For more detailed information regarding the final scores, you can contact the university representatives, however, we recommend that you remain calm for several weeks - if the final status of your proctoring session is "Approved" and you scored a high overall score, then there is no cause for concern.

Why don't the certificates appear right away?

After all students have passed the exam, the university team may need some more time to verify the information, confirm your final score and prepare certificates.

Will they send me a paper certificate by mail?

There is no automatic distribution of paper certificates. If the user contacts a representative of the university, the university independently decides on the possibility of providing a service for sending the paper version of the certificate.

The decision to issue paper versions of certificates is taken by the university, not the platform site - we recommend that you contact the university representatives directly with this question.

Will I receive confirmation of my course completion?

If you have passed control tests with personal identification, then upon completion of the online course you will receive electronic version certificate - a document on the development of the program additional education children and adults. The certificate is issued by a university offering an online course on our platform after passing all control activities, including the use of personal identification technologies, subject to the receipt of the established by the teachers minimum score required for the successful completion of an online course. The certificate contains information: the name of the university that issued the certificate, the full name of the student, the name of the course, the period of its development, the labor intensity of the mastered online course, the list of formed learning outcomes and competencies, the number of points earned, on the basis of which the learning outcomes can be recounted.

Do you provide for the issuance of certificates "with honors"? Why do I need a certificate?

The certificate will contain information about the student's learning outcomes - about the number of points scored, in the future - about the path of its development chosen within the online course.
On the basis of the certificate, any university can recalculate the results of successful mastering of an online course during implementation educational program.
The recalculation of the results of successful completion of an online course is carried out by the university in which the student masters the basic educational program. The basis for the transfer is the student's application for transfer and the copy of the corresponding certificate provided by him. The transfer procedure is regulated by the local regulations of the university. The decision on transfer is made taking into account the analysis of the correspondence between the learning outcomes achieved during the development of the online course and the learning outcomes planned to be achieved within the educational program of the university.
The university is obliged to consider the student's application.

Are free certificates issued?

If you have not passed the control tests in the personal identification mode, then the certificate at the end of the training on the online course will not be issued. Please note that regardless of the mode of passing control tests (with or without personal identification), you can view lectures, perform exercises and tests, and in personal account in the "Progress" tab to see your results.

How do I get a certificate?

To obtain a certificate, you need to dial the specified minimal amount points for completing all control activities of the online course and pay for the procedure for conducting control activities using personal identification technologies.
To do this, you must accept the terms of the offer agreement for the provision of educational services a university-developer of an online course by paying for services on the website (except for cases when the opportunity to master an online course with personal identification is provided by your university).

How is personal identification carried out?

Personal identification during the passage of control activities is carried out using online proctoring technologies.

The student must install special software on a personal computer that meets the minimum requirements and has a webcam, or use a prepared workplace at one of the access centers of his university. When passing the event, it is necessary to use this software to enter the corresponding control event of the online course, go through personal identification by showing the online proctor (the employee monitoring the exam being held) through the webcam of a document with a photo, and proceed with its implementation. In the process of completing the tasks provided for by the control event, the student must comply with the conditions of the event. If they are violated, the student will be suspended from completing the assignments and will receive 0 points.

How to pay for the certificate?

To pay for the certificate, you can use the online payment system on the site "site". Payment is made using a bank card or Yandex.Money service.

What is the cost of a certificate?

The cost of the procedure for assessing learning outcomes with personal identification, the passage of which is necessary to obtain a certificate, in the spring semester of 2019 for individuals will be 1,800 rubles.

For universities that have entered into network agreements with universities that develop online courses, the cost of assessing learning outcomes with personal identification in the spring semester of 2019 will be 1,000 rubles per student.

In what language and to what extent is the information in the certificate presented?

The certificate is issued only in Russian.

The certificate will contain all the information necessary for the transfer: the name of the university that issued the certificate, the full name of the student, the name of the course, the period of its development, the labor intensity of the mastered online course, the list of learning outcomes and competencies generated, the number of points scored, etc.

Is the possibility of obtaining a certificate presented in all courses of the platform? Can your course be considered a continuing education / retraining program?

Unfortunately, the certificate of completion of the course on the site does not equate to a certificate of professional development or retraining program, even if you passed the test with proof of identity.

How do I credit a course at my university?

The recalculation of the results of successful completion of an online course is carried out by the university in which the student masters the basic educational program. The basis for the transfer is the student's application for transfer and the copy of the corresponding certificate provided by him. The transfer procedure is regulated by the local regulations of the university. The decision on transfer is made taking into account the analysis of the correspondence between the learning outcomes achieved during the development of the online course and the learning outcomes planned to be achieved within the educational program of the university.
If the Transfer Procedure is not established, or is not communicated to students ( regulations are not published on the website of the university), we recommend that you submit an application for transfer to the dean's office, or to the university administration.
The university is obliged to consider the student's application.

Do you issue a certificate in the course of training?

As soon as massive open online courses (MOOCs) became really popular thanks to the emergence of global platforms, the global educational community faced new question: How to make sure that online courses meet the goals of not only self-education, but also serve as a support in career growth or help in learning in an "offline" university?

The main thing that the MOOC listeners of the early 2000s lacked was that very "crusty" feeling. People assign great value to the course they have taken if they have received any confirmation of their knowledge after completing it. Therefore, almost immediately, the world's MOOC providers began to offer free certificates of completion (Certificate of Completion, Certificate of Accomplishment). Such certificates were not particularly valuable, rather playing the role of a pleasant bonus to the completion of training, which can be framed and hung on the wall.

In 2014-2016, Open Education, Coursera, and edX dropped free certifications, replacing them with a validated certifications system. These documents are certified by the university providing the online course and must be completed with an ID exam to obtain them.

Let's first figure it out: why do we need certifications on open online course platforms?

The forms of online certification available today have noticeable advantages: firstly, they allow the development of an interuniversity system of recognition of certificates for online courses (relatively speaking, a university student can take a course from another university in a specific discipline, and his "native" university will credit the received results); secondly, such certificates are gradually being recognized by employers.

On the Open Education platform, electronic certificates solve several problems at once for different categories of students:

• for students - the opportunity to take a course in their specialty online even from another university and get credit points at their own university;
• for working people - an opportunity to supplement their professional portfolio and get recommendations;
• for applicants - the opportunity to undergo career guidance and immerse themselves in future profession... In addition, the received certificate can also be re-enrolled at the university after admission.

We have compiled a small cheat sheet for those who plan to receive electronic confirmation of their knowledge:

How much does a certificate cost?

It is not a certificate that is paid, but the procedure for passing control tests with personal identification to obtain it. The cost of such an exam is 1,000 rubles for all online courses in Open Education. Payment is made using a bank card or Yandex.Money service.

Is the certificate a document of education?

Yes, a certificate is a document on additional education, and it is issued by the university, certifying it with its own seal and the signature of the person in charge.

What does the certificate say?

The certificate contains all the necessary information: the name of the university that issued the certificate, the name of the student, the name of the course, the period of study and the learning outcomes (number of credits).

How is personal identification carried out on the exam?

The listener installs on his computer, which has a webcam, special application and uses it to pass the exam. During the exam, the proctor closely monitors the movement of the examinee's eyes and the computer's desktop. Thus, the reliability of the results of such an exam reaches 98% (in contrast to the full-time analogue).

Will I receive a certificate immediately after completing the course?

No. The certificate is generated within 2 weeks - 1 month.

Can a certificate be issued not to students, but to people already working?

The certificate can be issued to anyone.

Does the certificate have an expiration date?

The validity of the certificate depends on the organization that plans to transfer the student's online learning outcomes.

How can I re-read the certificate?

The transfer procedure may differ from university to university. Therefore, we recommend that students at the beginning of the semester contact the department or the educational department with a statement about their desire to study the course online. Many universities publish on their websites lists of online courses for which they accept learning outcomes.

Is the certificate considered a document of professional development?

No, the certificate is not a certificate of professional development, even if you took the test with proof of identity.

If I passed the exam, do I have to pay the money again for the retake?

If the exam was not passed for objective reasons, for example, due to a technical failure, then the next attempt will be given. If the results of passing the exam do not allow you to receive a certificate, then the next attempt will need to be paid.

Can I get a paper certificate?

You receive the certificate electronically. A request for a paper certificate can be sent to the university where you took the online course.

Quite often in my practice, there are cases when people sign up for classes only for the sake of receiving a diploma or a certificate of completion of courses. At the same time, they can hardly pay attention to the classes themselves (of course, not always) and go "for the sake of a tick."

In my opinion, enrolling in "diploma courses" only to receive a document confirming their completion is, at least, a waste of time and money. In general, in my opinion, it's just stupid. However, let's take a look at this approach to learning and see if it does anything.

Why do you need a certificate of completion of the courses

Why do people generally seek to obtain all kinds of documents?

Main motivation to apply this approach, the following is the received document on the completion of advanced training courses (diploma, certificate, certificate, etc.) can be present at employment for a new job. Such "documents" are often received for this very reason. Another thing is that not all people clearly understand the real value of such documents.

When trying to add an extra paragraph to their resume, many people rate the availability according to the principle "if there is, then it's good anyway"... In fact, this is not always the case. The fact is that educational documents are different and their value in the eyes of your potential employer is different. I will deal with this question a little later.

Another reason, according to which the majority is trying by hook or by crook to get another diploma, maybe self-doubt. I have highlighted it in bold to emphasize the importance of the moment. The fact is that for insecure people, the presence of a document confirming that they have some knowledge or skills compensates for the real inability (or insufficient ability) to use this knowledge / skills.

Doubt? And in vain. This is where the psychology of the student and the influence of public opinion come into play. That is, we often think that "if a person has a diploma, then he also has knowledge in his head." Well, if the majority thinks so, then over time in society there is a direction in which a person seeks first of all to receive a document on education, and not this education itself. Having received the coveted diploma, he calms down, believing that now his "knowledge / skills" confirmed.

Observe:

You either seek to gain knowledge and experience, or you want to receive confirmation from third parties that you have this knowledge and experience.

If the second is for you more important than the first then why go to class at all?

And thirdly, perhaps, all sorts of certificates of completion of courses (and not only courses) are received as the equivalent of a check or goods. Unclear? Very simple. When you take training, you usually pay for it. And since you pay, you want to get something in return, just like when you buy a product.

But what about knowledge? Ah, knowledge ... Well, this is something that cannot be touched. Most people need to you need confirmation that you have not spent your money in vain. That is, in this case, the course certificate acts as a kind of cash register receipt, confirming not only the fact of costs, but also, as it were, their result. Oh well...

For example, let's imagine another situation where you do NOT need to pay tuition fees. For example, your friend taught you something, showed you how to do something, and so on. He, of course, did not take money from you. Question: why in such a situation you do not need a diploma / certificate? Did you spend a little time? So there are courses of one or two lessons ...

The point here, as I said, is simply the price of the issue. If the price is zero (in money), then the confirmation service provision it seems like it is not necessary. Think about this when you pay for the next "diploma courses".

There was an important part of the article, but without JavaScript it is not visible!

And what is generally given out at the end of training courses?

It depends on what kind of courses. You can take another look at the picture at the beginning of the article.

On the one hand, all certificates, diplomas and other certificates can be conditionally divided into two groups: documents of the so-called state standard and all the others. The credibility of the documents of the first group is naturally higher, since they are issued educational institutions who have passed state certification and received an educational license.

However, as always, the information about the license indicated on the educational document does not mean anything by itself. There are cases when an organization has all licenses and at the same time is a meter by meter office, and the training conditions leave much to be desired. But it is precisely the presence of a license that gives the right to issue documents of the "state standard". Nevertheless the fact that the company has a license is still some plus.

Here is a sample certificate of completion. The degree of presentability is different - the meaning is the same (I've seen a lot of them).

On the other hand, the documents on the completion of the courses can also be divided into the same "diplomas / certificates / certificates". It seems that "diploma" sounds more solid and even, as it were, implies passing exams. However, all this can only be implied in the head of you or the owner of an educational company. In fact, this may not be the case at all.

In my opinion, if we talk about the differences in title document on the end of prof. courses, then there is not much difference.

By the way, when I taught 1C in training center, then during classes I was sometimes asked if we would have exam at the end of training. Generally speaking, it is really more interesting with exams, and after all it encourages the listeners to study. But exams were not implied, as in the vast majority of training centers.

However, there was an interesting effect. I liked the answer to the question "exams will be?" make a slightly surprised face and ask: "Do you want exams? You can organize!" The effect is amazing. Namely: everyone ALWAYS immediately said "NO, no need !!!"

This, in my opinion, says only one thing: by signing up for "courses with a diploma after graduation", people, in essence, do not want to confirm this diploma with their real knowledge and experience; there is only a desire to pay money and get a piece of paper. What follows from this and what are the owners of such "documents", read on.

What are "diploma courses" really worth

Now let's see how much will help obtaining such a document (diploma, certificate) in employment. If we are talking about something serious, then, of course, the corresponding document is required. Well, for example, no one will hire a doctor without a diploma. It is obvious. But in the case of additional education, it is not at all necessary to confirm your knowledge with documents. It's enough just to say what You know how to do it. And if anyone doubts, then show by example - in the overwhelming majority of cases, this is enough.

In addition, when hiring, few people pay attention to documents issued to anyone by unknown organizations. Therefore, if someone thinks that collecting various pieces of paper of this kind will help a lot, then in most cases this is not the case in practice. If you only receive documents, and nothing remains in your head, then this is completely bad.

Although for some reason, many consciously or subconsciously believe that it is enough to pay a certain amount of money and knowledge will be invested in the head. Well, sitting with a smart look in the classroom also does not hurt. But practice shows that all this is a big mistake, leading to disappointment in learning when you try to once put into practice your "knowledge", indicated in the certificate of prof. preparation or other document.

Above we talked about obtaining documents of the "state standard". The value of the rest of the "certificates", "diplomas" and other things, issued by someone unknown, tends to zero at all. Not to mention the fact that such "documents" can be printed by anyone by contacting the nearest printing house (and even your own design can be more beautiful). About "non-paper", that is, electronic documents, I generally keep quiet, since this is an ordinary picture, like the one drawn at the beginning of the article.

Interesting fact:

I have already mentioned above that in most companies that issue all kinds of certificates at the end of their courses, in order to obtain one, it is not at all required to pass any exams. That is, the one who signed up and paid for the training in any case will receive a document, even if he does not attend classes at all.

And the potential employer is well aware of this!

That is why you shouldn't really rely on the magic of pieces of paper. By the way, you should be careful about entering the presence of such "educational" documents in your resume.

if you are not sure of your skills and there are fears that the employer might want to be convinced of your knowledge (taking into account the previous paragraph, such a desire is quite justified), then it is better not to write at all or choose a more trusting company for employment.

If you are confident in yourself, then everything is OK, we write and enjoy the effect "I am a certified specialist".

How about getting a 1C certificate?

However, among the "fake" diplomas, the presence of which means practically nothing, there are good exceptions. For example, certificates issued by the CSO of 1C are highly valued when hiring. It may not be a decisive factor, but it will certainly be a plus. Although in practice 1C certificates are usually obtained by programmers, not ordinary users.

In addition, unlike conventional training courses, to obtain a certificate in the CSO 1C, you need pass the exam... Moreover, you need to take it according to the principle "did not pass - free"... Considering the attitude towards the passing of exams of the majority of course visitors (as I wrote above), as well as the attitude towards education as a purchase of goods, not everyone wants to take these very exams.

Well, if someone passed it, then here's a 1C certificate for you. There are many of them, but the meaning is about the same for all. If interested, see the list of existing certificates on the 1C website.

And finally, one more little reasoning on this topic... For example, a person enrolled in a Computer User course and received a certificate. If you think about it, the profession "PC user" does not exist at all. Is it worth considering?

So whether to receive documents or not, everyone must decide for himself. In any case, you can hang on the wall in a frame and show off to your friends.
