To earn a course certificate for a Principles of Manufacturing (POM) course, you need to complete the following steps:
- Pay the course fee: To upgrade to the certificate/verified (paid) track and earn a course certificate, you are required to pay the course fee before the payment deadline, which is typically around 4 weeks after the start date of the course. The fee to upgrade for each Principles of Manufacturing course is $175, or you can purchase the full program as a bundle. Please see this FAQ article about the cost for more details.
- Verify your ID: As part of the identity verification process, MIT Learn requires you to verify your identity using a webcam and a government-issued ID. This step ensures that employers and schools recognize that you, and only you, have completed the course work. It's important to note that ID verification lasts for one year on the platform. If you have previously completed this step for another course, please check your ID verification status on your dashboard to ensure it is still current.
- Earn a passing score: To obtain the course certificate, you must achieve a passing score in the course. The specific score required to pass may vary for each course, so it's essential to review the homework and grading policies provided within the course to determine the passing criteria.
By completing these steps—paying the course fee, verifying your ID, and earning a passing score—you will be eligible to receive a course certificate for the Principles of Manufacturing course. It's important to note that the course certificate is a recognition of your achievement and demonstrates your successful completion of the course.
