If you need a copy of a certificate to confirm you have completed your mandatory training, go to the learner dashboard > My Activities and courses (image 1), you will see a rosette (image 2) that indicates a certificate is available to download. This is not the case for all mandatory modules.
There are currently no certificates for the Introduction to Digital Accessibility module. If you require confirmation that you have completed the training and passed the test, Pui Chan is able to confirm - please contact pchan@sgul.ac.uk
You will only be able to download the certificate for the Prevent training module at the time of completing the course. Unfortunately, you will not be able to go back in and download it again at a later date as the certificate is built into the module rather than the MyTraining system.
