What Your Certificate Proves, and Putting It on LinkedIn
A Learning Clarity certificate records that you sat a real assessment and passed it, and anyone can check that without an account. It is not an accredited qualification, and this page is honest about the difference — plus exactly which fields to fill in on LinkedIn and how to describe it on a CV.
What It Actually Attests To
This matters more than the design of the document. An exam certificate is issued only when all of the following are true, so the certificate is a compressed record of them:
- You scored 70% or higher on the exam.
- The exam had at least 30 questions, so it was not a three-question formality.
- Every subtopic in the topic was covered, so you could not pass by revising a favourite corner of the syllabus.
- You answered it — including written answers graded on what you actually wrote, not only multiple choice.
What It Is Not
It is not an accredited qualification, and we would rather say that plainly than let anyone imply otherwise. No university or professional body has validated it, it carries no credits toward a degree, and it is not a licence to practise anything. It is evidence that you sat an assessment on a defined body of material and passed it, and it is checkable — which is more than most completion badges offer, and less than a formal qualification.
How Anyone Can Check It
Each certificate carries a credential ID beginning with LC- and a verification link. Opening that link shows the certificate is genuine, who it was issued to and when — without signing in, creating an account, or contacting us. The verification page deliberately does not display your score: it confirms the credential is real, not how narrowly you passed.
Adding It to LinkedIn
There is no one-click button, but LinkedIn's Licenses & certifications section maps onto our certificate cleanly. Add an entry and fill it in like this:
- Issuing organisation — Learning Clarity.
- Issue date — the date shown on your certificate.
- Expiry date — leave it blank, and tick that the credential does not expire. Ours do not.
- Credential ID — the LC- code from the certificate.
- Credential URL — the verification link. This is the field that matters most, because it is what turns a claim into something a recruiter can check in one click.
Describing It on a CV
Describe it as what it is and it will do you credit. Name the topic, say it was assessed rather than merely completed, and include the verification link. Something like "Assessed on <em>Pharmacology Fundamentals</em> — Learning Clarity, passed at 30+ questions across the full syllabus" is accurate and specific. What you should not do is list it under formal qualifications or imply accreditation, because the first person who checks will find out, and the checking is easy.
