After a seminar you receive the AEI certificate of attendance. It confirms that you took part in the event and names the course, the level and the date.
Certification at a glance
- Proof of: attendance, not an examination result
- Form: PDF with a certificate number
- Issue: after the seminar has been completed
- Access: in the learning area under "My certificates"
- Verification: through a link, no login required
- Signed by: the institute's course management
What the certificate contains
- The certificate number
- First and last name of the participant
- The course as it was named at the time of issue
- The level, that is Fundamentals, E-Commerce Masterclass: Growth & Performance or E-Commerce Masterclass: Strategy & Leadership
- The date of issue
- The person who signed it
These details are fixed at the moment of issue. If a course is renamed later or the management changes, a certificate that has already been issued stays unchanged. It should document the state at which you took part, not the state today.
How a certificate is verified
Every certificate carries a certificate number and a verification link in this form:
https://alpha-ecommerce-institut.de/academy/certificate/verify/
Anyone who opens the link sees, without logging in, whether the certificate is valid, along with the certificate number, name, course, level, date of issue and signatory. That is the point: an employer or an auditing body can look the details up instead of trusting a copied PDF.
- Valid: the page confirms the certificate and shows the details from the time of issue.
- Unknown: if the number does not exist, an error message appears. A forged certificate therefore does not lead to a confirmation.
- Revoked: if a certificate has been withdrawn, the page shows that, with a date.
What certification is not
- Not a state-recognised professional qualification
- Not a chamber of commerce examination
- Not proof of an examination result, because the seminars do not include a final exam
- No promise of a professional or financial outcome, such as a promotion
If you need a different kind of proof for a specific purpose, talk to us before booking. Some things can be prepared, some cannot, and we would rather tell you beforehand than afterwards.
No. It is proof of attendance, not a professional qualification and not an examination certificate. It documents that you attended a seminar with a particular content and scope.
It is issued after the seminar has been completed. You can download it as a PDF in the learning area of your account under "My certificates".
Yes, through the verification link that belongs to the certificate. The verification page can be reached without logging in and shows only the details needed for confirmation.
The verification page then states that the certificate has been revoked, with a date. That keeps the verification honest, even if it is uncomfortable in a particular case.
