Course Completion Certificates
OffSec issues completion certificates based on the training format and fulfillment of course-specific requirements.
Note: A Skills Passport shareable card is not a course completion certificate and is not valid for formal completion verification, CPE credit submissions, or employer proof of completion. For more information on what Skills Passport cards are and are not, see the Certification, Badges and Pins FAQ.
OffSec Courses/Learning Paths
For OffSec self-paced Courses/Learning Paths, learners qualify for a completion certificate upon meeting the course progress criteria.
In most courses, this requires completing 80% of the course labs or module requirements, unless otherwise specified in the table below.
Can I use my Skills Passport card as proof of completion?
In many cases, your Skills Passport card can help show your OffSec learning activity, course progress, or achievements, depending on what the requesting organization needs.
We recommend sharing your Skills Passport card. if you need a quick way to show your OffSec progress or participation in eligible learning activities.
