This certificate from the International Council for Online Educational Standards (ICOES), is issued in PDF format. It includes the ICOES logo and advisory board signature and is personalised with your name, the name of the course you have completed, your date of completion, and your grade.

ICOES is an accreditation institute based in the Netherlands that establishes, monitors and continually develops the educational standards of online teaching institutions. The ICOES certificate underlines to employers, colleagues and customers that your online course is approved by a body that requires its members, such as the International Open Academy, to meet specific standards in the provision of online education.

This is not a standalone item and should only be purchased in conjunction with a course. After payment is approved, please note that you will need to go to the account menu on your virtual campus account to finalize the order by clicking "Redeem Certificate". The delivery of the PDF document to your email will be processed by ICOES within 24 hours. As this is an external product, all queries should be directed to ICOES (certificates@icoes.org), and International Open Academy will not have access to these documents. 

Note:
Verification or authentication of the ICOES certificate can be done through ICOES directly. This means that any interested party (e.g. an employer, school or institute to which you have to present your ICOES certificate) can contact ICOES (certificates@icoes.org), and they will provide a declaration by email free of cost. The declaration confirms the authenticity of your accredited certificate and the successful completion of your course (including relevant course details).

Please note that when you buy the ICOES Certificate - Hard Copy and ICOES Digital Certificate together in a single bundle order, both will apply to one single course that you select.
