At edX, we have many types of courses to choose from. Choose the one that's right for you. Our courses are rigorous so choose wisely. Some courses allow you to earn a Certificate of Achievement that is Verified to ensure you are the one taking the course.
Sometimes you want to take and pass a course just for the sheer joy of learning something new. But sometimes you need to complete a course to get a better job, or a promotion, or to include in a college application.
EdX has launched a Verified Certificate of Achievement to help you with this. Employers and schools sometimes want proof of what you have achieved in an online course; a Verified Certificate of Achievement provides that proof.
