An Alison Academic Transcript is a detailed summary of the course you have completed on Alison. It contains your personal details, the final score you achieved, a course description and the names of the modules that you have completed. It also contains an authentication link to validate your achievement.
How do I get my Certificate?
To fully complete a course, you must study all sections of the course and score at least 80% in each assessment. Check you have completed all the sections in your course by looking for a green tick beside each completed section.
Once you have completed your course and passed your assessments, your Certificate will be available to purchase straight from the Shop.
Users can pay a nominal fee to automatically download Digital Certificates or purchase Certificate parchment that are shipped via mail. For a more detailed list of the costs, visit the Shop page.
You don’t have to purchase a Certificate in order to certify. You can access your Learner Report showing that you have completed the course.
All learning on Alison is free. After you complete a course, you are given the option to purchase a digital or printed version of your achievement.
