COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Will the American Embassy in my country authenticate OSH Center certificates?

No.

U.S. Embassies only authenticate diplomas from universities, colleges, and institutions accredited by organizations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Since OSH Center is a private training institution and not affiliated with the Department of Education, embassies generally will not authenticate our certificates.

OSH Center offers certificate programs, not degree programs. While embassies use this process to prevent fraudulent “diploma mill” degrees, please be assured that OSH Center is not a diploma mill—students must study the material and pass exams before earning any certificate.

If you have questions about certificate authentication, please contact OSH Center directly.

OSH Center offers free access to all training materials—you can audit any course, review study guides, and complete knowledge checks at no cost. Unlike most online training providers that require upfront payment, we only charge a fee if you choose to receive official certificates and transcripts.
