Certificates: Viewing, Downloading & Sharing

When you complete an exam, your teacher or organization can issue certificates to qualifying students. Testify generates professional PDF certificates that include your score, rank, and a unique verification code that anyone can use to confirm authenticity.

My Certificates Page

Where to Find Your Certificates​

Accessing the My Certificates Page​

  1. Log in to your Testify student account.
  2. Click "Certificates" or "My Certificates" in the left sidebar.
  3. The page displays all certificates you have earned, sorted by date.

What You See on Each Certificate Card​

Each certificate card shows:

  • Exam title -- The name of the exam you completed.
  • Score -- Your percentage score with a green checkmark icon (e.g., "85.3% Score").
  • Rank -- Your position among all participants (e.g., "Rank #3 of 45").
  • Date issued -- When the certificate was generated (e.g., "January 15, 2026").
  • Verification code -- A unique alphanumeric code displayed in a gray monospace badge.
  • Two action buttons: "Verify" and "Download PDF".

Empty State​

If you have not earned any certificates yet, the page shows a message:

"No certificates yet. Complete exams to earn certificates. They'll appear here automatically."

No Certificates

Tip: Not all exams generate certificates. Your teacher or admin decides which exams award certificates and what the minimum qualifying score is.

Downloading a Certificate PDF​

Testify generates professional PDF certificates that you can save, print, or attach to applications.

Steps to Download​

  1. Go to the "My Certificates" page.
  2. Find the certificate you want to download.
  3. Click the "Download PDF" button (blue button with a download icon).
  4. A new browser tab opens and the PDF begins downloading.
  5. Save the file to your device.

What the PDF Certificate Contains​

The downloaded PDF certificate includes:

  • Certificate of Achievement heading.
  • Your full name.
  • The exam title.
  • Your score (percentage), rank, and total participants.
  • The date issued.
  • A verification code for authenticity.
  • A decorative seal and professional formatting.

Certificate PDF

Tip: Save your certificate PDFs to a cloud drive (Google Drive, OneDrive) so you always have access to them.

Verifying a Certificate​

Every Testify certificate has a unique verification code. Anyone -- employers, schools, or other institutions -- can verify the authenticity of your certificate using this code.

Verifying from the My Certificates Page​

  1. Go to "My Certificates".
  2. Click the "Verify" button on the certificate card.
  3. A new tab opens showing the public Certificate Verification page with the certificate details.

Using the Public Verification URL​

Certificates can also be verified by visiting the public verification URL directly:

https://your-testify-domain.com/certificate/verify/YOUR_CODE

Replace YOUR_CODE with the verification code printed on the certificate.

What the Verification Page Shows​

When a valid code is entered, the verification page displays:

  1. A "Verified Authentic" banner at the top with a green checkmark, confirming the certificate is registered in official records.
  2. A decorative seal with an award icon.
  3. "Certificate of Achievement" heading.
  4. The text "This certifies that" followed by the student's full name.
  5. "has successfully completed" followed by the exam title in quotes.
  6. Three stat boxes:
    • Score -- The student's percentage.
    • Rank -- The student's position (e.g., #3).
    • Participants -- Total number of students who took the exam.
  7. Date Issued and Verification Code in a details section.
  8. A "Download Certificate PDF" button for the verifier to download the certificate.

Failed Verification​

If the verification code is invalid or the certificate does not exist:

  1. The page shows a "Verification Failed" banner in red.
  2. A message states: "This certificate could not be verified. It may be fake or the code may be incorrect."

Network Errors​

If the verification server cannot be reached:

  1. The page shows a "Connection Error" banner.
  2. A "Try Again" button lets you retry the verification.

Certificate Verification

Sharing Your Certificate​

You can share your certificate in several ways:

  1. Copy the public verification URL: 
    https://your-testify-domain.com/certificate/verify/YOUR_CODE
  2. Share this URL via email, messaging apps, or social media.
  3. Anyone who opens the link can see the verified certificate details and download the PDF.

Sharing the PDF​

  1. Download the certificate PDF (see above).
  2. Attach it to emails, upload it to LinkedIn, or submit it with applications.

Adding to Your Resume or Portfolio​

  1. List the exam title and achievement on your resume.
  2. Include the verification code or link so that the recipient can confirm its authenticity.

Tip: The verification page is public and does not require a Testify account to view. This makes it easy for employers or schools to confirm your certificate.

Understanding Certificate Eligibility​

Not every exam completion results in a certificate. Here is how eligibility works:

  1. Your teacher or organization admin generates certificates for an exam.
  2. They may set a minimum percentage threshold (e.g., only students scoring 60% or above receive a certificate).
  3. Once generated, the certificate appears on your "My Certificates" page automatically.
  4. You do not need to take any action to claim it.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Q: Why don't I have a certificate for an exam I completed? Certificates are generated by your teacher or admin. They may not have generated certificates for that exam yet, or you may not have met the minimum score requirement.

Q: Can I get a replacement certificate? The same certificate can be downloaded as many times as needed from the My Certificates page. Each download produces the same PDF with the same verification code.

Q: Can someone forge a certificate? Every certificate has a unique verification code. Anyone can verify the code using the public verification page. If the code does not match, the certificate will show as invalid.

Q: Can I request a certificate for a past exam? Ask your teacher or admin to generate certificates for the exam. Once generated, it will appear on your My Certificates page automatically.

Q: Is the verification link permanent? Yes. The verification link works as long as the Testify platform is active. There is no expiration on certificate verification.

Q: Can I share my certificate on LinkedIn? Yes. Download the PDF and upload it to your LinkedIn profile under Licenses & Certifications. Include the verification URL so viewers can confirm its authenticity.
