Certificate Policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

You earn a certificate by completing a program and passing its assessments: quizzes after each module, a final assessment, and practical tasks where the program needs them. Assessment is carried out by people.

Anyone can check a Luminary certificate by entering its serial number on the Verify page. A valid result confirms that Luminary issued it. If a serial number is not found, write to info@luminaryiu.com and we will check.

Luminary International University offers vocational and professional certifications only. Its Certificates, Diplomas and Vocational Bachelor, Executive Master and Executive PhD pathways are vocational and professional qualifications, not academic degrees, and cannot be compared with, or used in place of, academic qualifications. Luminary does not operate under, or hold approval from, any ministry or department of higher education, including in the United States. Its certificates are not intended for academic equivalency, credit transfer or admission to academic programs.

If your name or details are wrong on a certificate, write to us with proof and we will correct the record and reissue the certificate.

We may withdraw a certificate if it was issued by mistake or obtained by cheating, impersonation or false information. The record then shows that the certificate is no longer valid.

Hours you complete in a field count towards the next level in the same field, with no repeated exams or fees for those hours.
