E-certificates

In recent years, colleges and educational institutions have witnessed a significant shift from traditional paper-based certificates to electronic certificates, commonly known as e-certificates. This transition represents a growing trend in embracing digital technologies to streamline administrative processes and enhance the overall efficiency and accessibility of certification systems.

From September 2023 Preston College will begin the transition from paper-based certificates to e-certificates. E- certificates offer staff and learners advanced efficiency, cost reduction, improved security, increased accessibility, and environmental sustainability. Embracing digital technologies in the certification domain reflects the ongoing digital transformation of education and highlights the commitment to modernise administrative procedures for a more seamless and sustainable future.
