Completing a MOOC provides a certificate of accomplishment that users can download in PDF format from a dedicated section of Politecnico di Milano's Online Services ("How do I download the certificate of accomplishment?").
From February 25, 2025, certificates will also be issued in the form of Open Badges, which are digital certificates that are easily shareable and certify the acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, personal abilities (soft skills), and/or technical competencies acquired upon completion of the course.
Initially, the Open Badge will only be available for some MOOCs, but its issuance will gradually extend to all POK educational offerings, eventually replacing the current certificate of accomplishment. Check the "Certificate" section of each individual course for the completion criteria and the type of certification offered.
These certificates are not official credentials and do not grant university credits, grades, or diplomas.
