Successful completion of Certificate requirements - Issuance of digital badge and e-certificates

Students who have successfully completed and met the passing requirements of the compulsory courses will be awarded a Certificate in Community Development and Leadership from CTPCLC upon graduation from NUS.

Starting from August 2020, CTPCLC will no longer issue hard copies of certificates. Graduates of our Certificate Programme will be issued digital badges and be able to print their e-certificates from Accredible instead. These credentials will be for life. An automated email containing a URL link to your e-credential will be sent to your NUS Lifelong email (e___@u.nus.edu) on the last week of July.
