Sometimes you want to take a course just for the sheer joy of learning something new. But sometimes you need to complete a course for a better job, a promotion, or a college application.
A verified certificate from edX® and Wageningen University & Research can provide proof for an employer, school, or other institution that you have successfully completed this online course. Verified certificates require you to verify your identity using a webcam and a government-issued ID, so employers and schools know that you completed the course work. The certificate and any graded assignments are only available to verified learners.
