Use the certificates tab on your profile to upload and manage certificates you obtained outside edyoucated (for example from other platforms). This guide explains how to upload for yourself, how owners can upload for others, and how to edit, download, or delete uploaded certificates.
Who can use this feature?
Available on All Plans
Available on Desktop and Mobile
Members can view and upload certificates on their own profile.
Owners can view certificates of any user and upload certificates on their behalf.
Team managers can view certificates of their team members in user profiles.

Opening the certificates tab on your profile
You can open Certificates in two ways:
Click your profile picture and select Certificates.
Click your profile picture → Your profile → Certificates.
Understanding certificate type and requirements
When uploading, you must select a Certificate type. Certificate types are centrally managed by your organization’s owners under Administration → Certificate types. If the type you need is missing, contact an owner to create it.
Note: Deprecated certificate types are no longer selectable for new uploads. Certificates already uploaded with a deprecated type remain visible on the profile.
