LinkedIn has a "Licenses & certifications" section where you add certificate details manually: name, issuing organisation, date, and an optional credential URL. If you have an Examinizer certificate, the payment confirmation page has a one-click button that fills in most of this for you. This guide covers both methods.
The one-click method (Examinizer certificates only)
After payment, your certificate page at examinizer.net/account/payment-success/ shows an "Add to LinkedIn Profile" button. Click it, and LinkedIn opens in a new tab with these fields already filled:
- Name: your level and language, for example "B2 English Certificate"
- Organisation: Examinizer
- Credential ID: your certificate code
- Credential URL: your verification link
Review the entry, adjust the date if needed, and save.
Manual method (works for any certificate)
Use this for IELTS, Cambridge, Goethe, or any certificate that does not have a one-click integration.
- Go to your LinkedIn profile and click "Add profile section."
- Select "Recommended," then "Licenses & certifications."
- Fill in the form. In the name field, write your level and language, for example "B2 English Certificate" or "C1 Deutsch-Zertifikat." In the issuing organisation field, type the name of whoever issued it, such as "Examinizer" or "Cambridge Assessment English." For issue date, use the month and year you received the certificate, and leave expiration date blank for most language certificates. For credential ID, use your unique certificate code (for Examinizer, the 12-character code on your PDF, e.g. EX-7K2M-P9NR). For credential URL, use the link where employers can verify it (for Examinizer, https://examinizer.net/verify/).
- Click Save.
What to enter in each field

Will employers take this seriously?
LinkedIn does not verify certifications. Anyone can add anything. What makes a certification credible is the credential URL: employers click it and see the actual certificate with your name, level, score, and issue date. That is the real proof, not the LinkedIn entry itself. Examinizer certificates verify at examinizer.net/verify/ in seconds, without an account.
Take a language test →Common questions
Yes. Add one entry per certificate. If you hold both a B1 and a B2 English certificate, add both separately. Each has its own credential ID.
Type “Examinizer” manually. LinkedIn accepts free-text input for the organisation field, and the name appears exactly as you type it.
No. LinkedIn certification entries have no PDF upload field. The credential URL is what matters: it lets anyone verify the certificate online without downloading anything.
Yes. AD- marks an Adaptive Certificate, where an AI assessed your level across 25 adjusting questions. BZ- marks a Business Language Certificate. Both verify at examinizer.net/verify/ the same way as an EX- code.
