We are almost at the end of the course.
If you don't need a certificate for this course, you can skip this video.
But if you need a certificate of completion for this course in this video, I'm going to show you exactly
how to get your certificate.
So let's say I'm logged in as a student and I'm taking this basics of pro Song writing course and I'm
going to click it and you see it's 86% complete.
You get the certificate mailed to you when a course is 100% complete.
So when you click on the course, you see on the right side.
And of course if you're on mobile, it will look a little bit differently.
But here on the right side, you want to see these check marks, You want to see that they're complete.
You want to go and look at all the sections, open them up and see what's not complete.
Now, if I click on everything here, right, all the things you saw, it used to be 86% complete.
Now, let's say I leave the quiz out.
Let's see what it's going to tell me.
It's 92% complete.
So let's say I check.
Mark the quiz.
I checked the quiz.
I checked this quiz.
So it's 95% complete.
So basically, you need to complete the quizzes and all the sections, right?
And you want to be careful because when I create courses, I also update them.
So as you're taking the course, let's say you've gone through the course and you're at the end here
and you're thinking, okay, I completed everything.
I went lecture by lecturer and I finished it.
But very often I improve the course.
So it's very well may be that if it's taken you a week or two weeks or a month, I may have made additions
to the course.
What you want to check is are all the lectures checked?
So let's say this one is checked and everything is checked and you go through everything and then it
should say 100% after your courses, 100% complete.
And of course, don't just check the boxes, watch the videos, because I honestly don't know if checking
the boxes is enough to complete the course and get a certificate because that has to do with the internal
Udemy algorithm.
Who knows how they measure whether you really completed it.
But let's say you have finished and watched and played the videos all the way through 100%.
Then Udemy will send you an email with your certificate to your email that you gave to Udemy.
So a fair warning.
It may not arrive right away.
So if it doesn't come moments later, don't worry.
Check in 6 hours later.
12 hours later you probably have a then if you don't have your certificate in the mail, then the steps
to troubleshoot is first, check your spam folder because often it ends up there.
If it's not in your spam folder on your profile, check that you see that email that you gave it.
You see how the email pops up.
Check that it's accurate and it's everything is spelled correctly because every once in a while that's
an issue.
And you see here, I actually went to Gmail and I got the certificate, so I'm going to click on this
email.
That's where the certificate is going to look like.
View certificate.
That's my certificate.
I can print it out, I can download it, let's say JPEG format, and that's a certificate certificate
of completion.
I finished this course or you can also have it nicer in PDF so you can download it in both formats.
You can also send it wherever you need to by clicking the share button and in case the certificate is
wrong, let's say your name is misspelled.
You can update your certificate right here.
You can choose the language.
You can see if your name is right.
If not, you want to update your profile name and then the certificate should update.
So I'm not going to change the certificate now, but you can do that.
But let's say you did not have this arrive in your email.
So what you would do is compose an email support at Udemy dot com and you say I did not get my certificate
and then you paste the URL of the course that you completed.
So I'll go to this course and it will be enough if you give them this URL.
It's really this URL right here.
This is the course.
You see, it takes you to the landing page of that course.
So this URL is probably cleaner.
So you will give them this URL.
Paste it here.
And to be sure, you can take a screenshot of it saying on your profile that you completed 100% of it.
Like I have it right here.
You see right here you take a screenshot of that and attach it in your email and that will make it very
easy for the Udemy staff to say, Oh yeah, something went wrong.
It will make it easier for them to fix the issue and they will get you your certificate.
So in any case, no matter what the problem is, you have a way to get your certificate.
