Once a student has completed their online training course, it will first have to be validated using the photo images recorded via the web camera, once training has been validated then the students certificate, badge and digital certification will be available to access.

In the event the students recorded footage shows evidence of assistance being provided by a third part the online course will be reset and must be completed again without the assistance of others.
