What's on it
Your name, the course, the date it was awarded, your credential ID, our director's signature and a QR code. Scanning the code opens the certificate's public page, and the address of our verify page is printed beside it, so even a printed copy can be checked.
Share the public page
On LinkedIn, add it to the certifications section of your profile, with The Online Business Academy as the issuer, your credential ID, and the public page link as the credential URL. There's no one-click LinkedIn button, so it's a quick copy and paste.
On your CV, the course name, the credential ID and the link are all an employer needs. The resume builder adds your certificates for you, credential ID included.
On your Certificates page, press View certificate.
Press See the public page.
Copy the address from your browser's address bar and paste it wherever you want to share it.
The public page shows your name, the course and the date to anyone with the link, and nothing else about you. Once you post the link somewhere public, search engines can find it too.
