After passing an exam, your completion certificate is typically emailed to you automatically. If you didn’t receive it, here’s how to get it resent.
Important: Completion certificates may take up to a few hours to arrive after passing your exam. Check your spam or junk folder before contacting support — the email may have been filtered.
Before You Start
- Confirm you’ve passed the exam — log in and check My Courses & Exams or My Grades for your results.
- Make sure your email address is correct in your account profile. Certificates are sent to your preferred email.
- Check your spam or junk folder.
How to Request a Certificate Resend
If your certificate hasn’t arrived after a few hours:
- Log in to your account at TheInstitutes.org.
- Check My Grades — some certificates may be available for download directly.
- If you can’t find it, contact Customer Success
with:
- Your full name and student ID
- The course/exam name (e.g., CPCU 550, AINS 101)
- The approximate date you passed
Name Incorrect on Your Certificate?
Important: Your certificate pulls your name from your account profile. If your profile has incorrect information (such as a degree title in the name field), it will appear on the certificate. Update your profile first, then request a reissue.
If your certificate shows your name incorrectly (duplicated, misspelled, or outdated):
- Go to My Account > Profile and verify your name is correct.
- Update it if needed, then save.
- Contact Customer Success to request a corrected certificate.
Completion Certificates vs. Diplomas
- Completion certificates are issued per course/exam — you get one each time you pass.
- Diplomas are issued when you complete an entire designation program (all required courses). See Transcripts & Diplomas for diploma-related questions.
