How to Access your eCertificate when you Graduate your Program

Covid19 has brought with it a number of changes, with social distancing and work-from-home measures becoming common.  At GBCTechTraining, these changes mean that while our online programs are still available, George Brown College has closed its physical buildings to most staff and students and we are working remotely.  As a result of this closure, you are now able to access your Certificate online as an eCertificate, in addition a printed copy of the Certificate will automatically be mailed.

Key Information

What does it cost to access my eCertificate?  

It’s free! There is no charge to download your eCertificate, and it counts as an official documentation of your program completion. 

How long after I finish my program can I download my eCertificate?

Your eCertificate will be available to you within two weeks of completing your final module exam.  If you graduated prior to March 12, 2020 and would like a copy of your eCertificate, please get in touch with us at [email protected].

How do I request a printed, official copy of my Certificate?

Your Certificate will automatically be processed once you have completed your last module exam.  

When will the printed copy of my Certificate be mailed? 

Due to COVID 19 we are experiencing delays in processing and mail delivery of Certificates.  Your printed Certificate will be mailed between 6 - 8 weeks of program completion.
