Certificates

Certificates are awarded after completion of certain courses on Ed-Cademy. These certificates confirm that a learner has finished a course or learning experience offered through the platform.

Certificates should include:

Course title
Completion date
Educator name
Educator status (when appropriate)

To protect transparency and avoid misleading claims, educator classification must be handled carefully:

Only educators with a valid teaching credential may be identified as Certified Teachers.
Substitute teachers are not considered certified unless they hold a verified full teaching license.
Tutors may create courses, but certificates should label them as Tutor, not Certified Teacher.

Certificates represent course completion only. They are NOT:

Government diplomas
School transcripts
University credits
State-issued credentials

Ed-Cademy verifies credentials before granting Certified Teacher status to maintain trust.
