7. Delivery of Physical
Credentials
7.1
Applicability. This section applies only where the learner has purchased
the Hard Bound Copy format. Learners purchasing the Soft Copy (PDF) format

certification and the production of the printed credential. Courier and

completed within 10 to 15 business days of that point. Transit time thereafter
depends on the destination and the courier service selected.

re-dispatch is available at the learner’s cost.

discretion and at the learner’s cost.

dispatch where the selected courier service supports it.

Credentials Unaffected. Digital credentials are issued and remain
accessible in the student dashboard regardless of the status of any physical
dispatch. A delay in physical delivery does not affect the validity of the
