Learn and earn a certificate

Guides and courses

PGB Learn (learn.pgbhub.com) has two kinds of content. Guides are short, task-based articles for every PGB product, grouped by service on the home page and free to read. Courses are structured paths of lessons and quizzes, some with certificates.

Find a guide

On the home page type a word in the search box, such as "DKIM" or "shared drives", and choose Search. Results are listed by service. Open one and follow the numbered steps.

Find a course

1. Choose Courses in the top menu.
2. Use Search courses or the chips for level (PGB 101 · Foundations, PGB 201 · Intermediate, PGB 301 · Advanced, Custom), price (Free, Paid) and topic.
3. Open a course to see What you'll learn, the Syllabus, estimated hours and whether it gives a Certificate.

Enrol

For a free course choose Enroll for free. If you are signed out, the button reads Sign in to enroll for free and takes you to sign in with your PGBHub account. Free course lessons can be read without an account, but you need one to save progress and earn a certificate.

Paid courses show a price and let you read lessons tagged Preview. Read the button on the course card to see what you can do for that course.

The reader

After enrolling you open the reader. A Contents panel lists modules and lessons with ticks for completed ones and a Quiz tag on quizzes. A bar at the top shows your progress percentage.

At the bottom of a lesson:

• Mark complete records it.
• Previous and Next move through the course.

Leave and come back: My learning in your account menu shows each course with its progress and Start, Continue or Review.

Quizzes

A quiz shows its Pass mark and attempts left. Answer all questions, choose Check answers, and read each result: Correct or Not quite, with an explanation where there is one. If you fail and have attempts left, choose Try again. Official courses allow three attempts at a 70 percent pass mark.

Certificates

Finish all lessons in a course that issues certificates and a banner appears: "Course complete. Your certificate is ready." Choose View certificate. It shows your name, the course, the issue date, your score and a code like CERT-ABC234. Choose Print or save as PDF to keep a copy.

Verify a certificate

Anyone can check a code at learn.pgbhub.com/verify/ followed by the code. A valid certificate shows who it was awarded to, the course, issue date and score. A withdrawn one says "This certificate was withdrawn"; an unknown code says "We couldn't find that certificate".

Try it yourself

1. Search for a guide on a topic you use.
2. Enrol in PGB 101: Foundations & Daily Workflow and complete the first lesson.
3. Open My learning and find your progress bar.
