Dartmouth_IMTx: DART.IMT.C.01 C Programming: Getting Started

Certificate and C Programming Professional Certificate

Online students who have upgraded to verified and achieved a passing grade in C Programming: getting started will earn a Verified Certificate. The verified certificate indicates that you have successfully completed the course. Many students add their certificates to their resumé, CV, or LinkedIn profile to demonstrate mastery of a given subject area to potential employers. Certificates are issued by edX under the name of Dartmouth College and IMT and are delivered online through your dashboard on edx.org.

You can upgrade by clicking on the "Upgrade to Verified Certificate" link.

Why upgrading to a certificate?


  • To impress your (future) employer with a verified certificate that documents your learning.
  • To share your new skills and knowledge with the world, securely through a dedicated link that edX provide.
  • To challenge yourself. Sometimes we all need that extra push. Working towards a certificate keeps you motivated.
  • To allow you to pursue the C Programming with Linux Professional certificate (see details below)

What does "verified" mean?
