Registrants should receive a confirmation message about 15 minutes after completing the registration form. That – and additional emails – will be sent from the academiacentral.org domain. Please add it – and the credly.com domain – to any safesenders lists to avoid issues with junk and spam filters.
The contents of this certificate program is available immediately and for free of charge. While the content is available free of charge, you need to upgrade to the paid version to take the quizzes in order to earn the Credly certificate and badge, which will be awarded after participants pass all seven quizzes. If you fail any of the quizzes, you can retake them as many times as you want.
There is a modest charge if you want to get a certificate and a badge (this is a hard cost to us). Unfortunately there is no scholarship for this as the information is provided for free of charge.
There can be several reasons why you might be having trouble.
- There was a typo or error in the email address when you registered on mooc.academiacentral.org.
- You have inserted a space in your public username field.
- The automated activation email message was caught by your spam filter.
- Your email provider might have blocked the automated email message.
Here’s what you can do:
- Check your spam or junk mail folder for an email from [email protected]. Add [email protected] to your email contacts or approved senders list.
- Remove any spaces in your public username.
- Try registering again with the same email address. If the account already exists, you’ll see an error indicating that there is a duplicate email address.
- From the mooc.academiacentral.org log in page, click “Need Help Signing In? and then click “Forgot my password.” The password reset message will activate your account.
