How the certificate works
Pass the final check, type your name, download.
Pass
The final knowledge check has ten easy questions across all the units. Seven correct passes it, and you can retake it as often as you like.
Generate
The Generate certificate button appears on passing. Type your name as it should appear; the certificate is drawn on your device, and the name is never sent anywhere.
Download
Save it as a PDF or a PNG, and download the digital badge for your LinkedIn profile, your email signature or your CV.
Share
One click adds it to the certifications section of your LinkedIn profile, with the credential ID and a verification link filled in.
Each certificate carries a credential ID such as GBRM-ADF-2026-A7K2Q, and anyone can check it at govbrm.com/verify. It is a certificate of completion: it shows you read the course and passed its check, and it makes no claim about assessed competence. The Academy keeps no record of foundation learners; the certificate is yours, on your device.
Foundation certificates are certificates of completion issued by GOVBRM Academy. They are not academic qualifications, are not accredited by a third party and are not evidence of assessed competence; the practitioner programmes are where competence is assessed. The knowledge check is deliberately easy: its job is to confirm you read the course, not to rank you.
Digital badges
One badge per credential, six in the set.
Badges are square PNG images in the Academy's colours, with the credential name and its level. Use them anywhere a picture is accepted: a LinkedIn profile entry, an email signature, a slide, a CV. They are not yet issued through an Open Badges platform; the verification route is the credential ID.
