How to generate your certificate

Log your hours as you complete them, then open the certificate export from your dashboard. Add the organization name, an optional logo, and the name and title of the person signing, choose the date, and download the PDF.

A certificate schools and scholarships recognize

A certificate answers the reviewer's questions in one page: who you are, how many hours, with which organizations, and over what period. Because it is generated from your logged hours, the totals match your record exactly, which is what makes it easy to trust.
