Certificate verification
Enter the code from the certificate. You do not need an account, and we do not record who you are.
No account needed. Codes never contain 0, O, 1, I or L — if you are reading one off a photocopy, those are probably D, Q, 7, J or 4.
For a school or an employer
A plain-language note on what this document does and does not claim, so you can weigh it properly.
What it claims
A Lrnon Certificate means the holder sat an open-book assessment for one module and a volunteer reviewer judged their written answer against a rubric published in advance — you can read that rubric yourself on the module's certification page. A Module Record is a lower tier and claims less: that they completed every lesson in the module and passed its quizzes. It involves no assessment.
What it does not claim
Lrnon is not a recognised examination board and does not present itself as one. This is our own record of work we assessed, against our own published standard. It does not replace a school certificate, a board result, or a professional qualification, and it should not be weighed as if it did. It is evidence that someone learned something and could demonstrate it — no more, and no less.
Why we ask for initials
A code on its own returns the certificate's status but never the holder's name. Most Lrnon learners are children, and a code that returned a child's name to anyone who typed it would be a worse thing to publish than no verification at all. If the person is with you, the initials on their copy unlock the rest.
A question about one specific certificate — including a suspicion that one is not genuine — goes to our contact page, and a person answers. We would rather hear about a forgery than not.
