# About our certificates

Every certificate is issued by Get Certified for Free (getcertifiedforfree.com) for passing a free online knowledge quiz. Please describe it that way.

## What it is

- A certificate of completion showing you passed a specific level's quiz, with your score and the date.
- Issued in the name of Get Certified for Free only.
- Free, with unlimited retakes.

## What it is not

- Not accredited by any accrediting agency, and not academic credit.
- Not a license, and it does not let you practice any regulated profession, such as real estate sales, accounting, law, or financial advice.
- Not a government credential, and not a professional certification from a standards body or vendor.
- Not endorsed by any employer, school, company, or tool maker named in the lessons.

## Verification

Certificate IDs are generated in your browser and are not stored on a server, so we cannot verify a certificate for a third party. Your name and email are sent when you request the PDF so we can email it. That does not create a public verification record. Quizzes are unproctored, and the answers are graded on your device.

## How to list it

On a resume or profile, write it like this: Certificate of Completion, Personal Finance Level 3, Get Certified for Free (online knowledge quiz), November 2026.

The full text printed at the bottom of every PDF: “This certificate is issued by Get Certified for Free (getcertifiedforfree.com) for passing a free online knowledge quiz. It is not an accredited, licensed, government, academic, or professional credential, it does not confer any license or right to practice, and it is not endorsed by any employer, school, or licensing body.”

## Need a license?

Licenses come from state agencies after approved education and an exam. Check your state's licensing board for the job you want.
