Udemy is one of the largest online learning platforms, offering courses on a wide range of topics, from technology and business to personal development and hobbies. A common question among learners is whether Udemy issues certifications upon course completion and how course creators can send Udemy certificates through Sertifier.
In this blog, we’ll explore what Udemy certifications are, how to use Sertifier to send them, how to obtain them, and how you can effectively showcase them in your professional portfolio.
What are Udemy Certificates?
A Udemy certification is a digital certificate provided to learners who complete a course. Upon finishing a paid course, students can download this certificate to acknowledge their accomplishments.
These certificates serve as a way to demonstrate the skills or knowledge gained during the course. However, it’s important to note that Udemy certificates are not officially accredited by any academic institution or professional organization. They primarily act as a testament to your learning, making them valuable when self-improvement or skill development is the goal.
How to Send Udemy Certificates Using Sertifier
To seamlessly integrate Udemy certificates with Sertifier and automate the process of issuing credentials, instructors can leverage Zapier, a popular automation tool that connects various applications without the need for complex coding.
- Set Up a Zapier Account:
If you don’t already have a Zapier account, sign up at zapier.com. Zapier allows users to create “Zaps,” which are automated workflows that connect different apps like Udemy and Sertifier. - Create a New Zap:
After logging in, click on “Create a Zap” and select Udemy as the trigger app. For the trigger, choose “New Course Completion,” which will activate the workflow whenever a student completes a Udemy course. - Connect Sertifier:
In the second step, select Sertifier as the action app. Choose the action “Send Digital Certificate” to automate the issuance of a credential upon course completion. - Customize Certificate Details:
You can personalize the certificate by setting the title, description, and criteria for earning it. Include specific course details from Udemy to ensure the certificate accurately reflects the learner’s achievements. - Test and Activate the Zap:
Test the workflow to ensure everything runs smoothly. Once confirmed, activate the Zap, and it will automatically issue Sertifier certificates to students who complete Udemy courses.
By using Zapier, Udemy instructors can offer learners an enhanced experience by issuing official-looking certificates via Sertifier, creating a more professional and easily shareable credential.
Do Udemy Certificates Expire?
No, Udemy certificates do not expire. Once you’ve earned a certificate for completing a course, it’s yours to keep. The skills and knowledge you acquire through Udemy courses can evolve, especially in fast-paced fields like technology, but the certificate itself remains valid indefinitely. However, it’s a good idea to continue updating your learning as industries and technologies change, even though your Udemy certificate remains accessible.
How Do I Get My Certificate from Udemy?
Obtaining your Udemy certificate is straightforward. Once you’ve completed 100% of the course content, including any required quizzes or assignments, Udemy will generate a downloadable certificate for you. You can access this certificate by navigating to the course dashboard and clicking on the “Certificate of Completion” option. The certificate is usually in PDF format, making it easy to share and print if needed.
How Do I Share a Udemy Certificate on LinkedIn?
Sharing your Udemy certificate on LinkedIn is an excellent way to showcase your skills to your professional network. To share your certificate:
- Go to the LinkedIn “Licenses & Certifications” section of your profile.
- Click on the “+” button to add a new certification.
- Fill in the details:
- Certification Name: The name of the course you completed.
- Issuing Organization: Udemy.
- Issue Date: The date you completed the course.
- Credential URL: You can find this in your course dashboard under “Certificate.”
- Once you’ve filled out the details, click “Save,” and the certificate will appear on your LinkedIn profile.
Adding Udemy certificates to your LinkedIn profile is a great way to bolster your online resume and demonstrate your commitment to continuous learning.

Can I Put My Udemy Certificate on My Resume?
Yes, you can include your Udemy certificates on your resume, especially if the course content is relevant to the job you’re applying for. Udemy certificates can be listed in the “Certifications” or “Professional Development” section of your resume.
Since Udemy courses are not accredited, it’s best to be transparent by mentioning Udemy as the platform where the course was completed. This shows prospective employers that you have a genuine interest in skill-building and learning, even though the certification itself may not be from an accredited institution.
