Certificates
Free cybersecurity certificates
Every module in the course ends in a practical exam. Pass it and you earn a certificate for that module, free, with a code anyone can check. These are skills certificates from an independent project rather than an accredited qualification, and they are built to show you can do the work.

Your name
for passing the Recon & OSINT Intermediate exam
A sample certificate. Yours carries your name, the module, the date and its verification code.
How you earn one
Work through a module's lessons, then sit its exam. The tasks are hands-on and graded the moment you submit them; clearing the pass mark issues the certificate to your account straight away. Because it is tied to your account rather than a single browser, the exam asks you to sign in first with a free account.
Start the courseThe three tiers
Each certificate is named at a tier that reflects what its exam asks of you, so the title says how far the module goes rather than giving a raw mark.

Verifying and sharing
Every certificate has its own code and a public page at /verify/<code>. That page confirms the certificate is real and shows the module, the issue date and your display name if you have set one. From there you can add it to LinkedIn in a couple of clicks or send the link to anyone, and a shared link unfurls as the certificate itself.
Common questions
- Are the certificates free?
- Yes. Every certificate is free, with no payment, subscription or trial.
- Are they accredited?
- No. These are independent skills certificates from a personal project, with no affiliation to any school, vendor or certification body. They show you completed the practical exam, not that you hold a regulated qualification.
- Do I need an account?
- You need a free account to sit an exam, so the certificate is saved to you rather than to one browser. The notes, flashcards, quizzes and challenges stay open with no sign-up.
- How is a certificate verified?
- Each one carries a unique code. Anyone can open cyber.jackghx.com/verify/ followed by the code to confirm it is genuine and see the module, the issue date, and your display name if you set one.
- Can I add it to LinkedIn?
- Yes. The certificate page has an Add to LinkedIn button that fills in the licences and certifications form for you, including the verification link.
- What is the pass mark?
- Seven of the ten tasks in a module exam.
