How certificates are verified
Every certificate of completion from Liquid Cooling has a verification code in the form XXXX-XXXX-XX. Its public page shows the holder, the course, the date and whether the certificate is valid, expired or revoked. The status is worked out when the page is read, so an expired or revoked certificate never shows as valid. A certificate of completion is not a license or an accreditation.
