Your digital certificate is a downloadable document available through your Credly account. Both are issued when you complete a Bridge course with a passing grade.

Bridge holds ACCET institutional accreditation, recognized by the US Department of Education. Eligible Bridge courses are also recommended for undergraduate college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). These institutional recognitions give Bridge credentials academic and professional weight that employers and institutions around the world recognize.

Some employers, visa offices, or government agencies require a notarized or apostilled certificate – requirements vary by country and organization, so confirm exact document requirements before you begin. Graduates typically work with a third-party notary, apostille, or document legalization provider, and in many cases, a printed Bridge certificate can be used for this process. Because requirements vary by country, employer, and agency, Bridge cannot guarantee which document format or apostille process will be accepted.
