9 Questions Every School Should Ask About Their Certificates

Your school’s certificates do more than confirm learning — they carry your reputation. Use these questions to explore how your certificates could strengthen your credibility, marketing, and student experience.
October 14, 2025

The questions to ask within your organisation: 

1. Can anyone instantly verify that our certificates are genuine?

If an employer or partner receives a copy, can they check that it’s real in a few seconds — without contacting you?


2. Do our graduates proudly share their certificates online?

Do your certificates make people want to post them on LinkedIn or social media — and does their posts drive traffic back to our school, introducing it to new audiences?


3. Do we know how our certificates perform?

Do we track how many are viewed, verified, or shared?
That data tells you how visible your programs really are. And where.


4. Do employers trust our certificates?

Would a hiring manager instantly know the certificate is authentic and see what skills it represents?


5. Are our certificates designed for our brand — or ate they just functional PDFs?

Do they visually represent your school’s excellence, values, and professionalism?


6. Are our certificates easy to manage at scale?

How long does it take to issue or reissue one?
Could we handle thousands of graduates automatically — without admin stress?


7. Do our certificates help us attract new students?

Do they link back to your school, courses, or website — turning every graduate into a small marketing channel?


8. Can our certificates be lost or stolen?

Do we get calls and emails about replacement documents?


9. Do our certificates stay valuable over time?

Can you automatically ask students to renew a certificate or license, when a course is updated, or a certificate expires?

A certificate isn’t just a record — it’s a lasting proof of trust between your school and the world.
