What this is

OpenWHO covers epidemiology, infection control, emergency response and public health. The courses are short and issue two kinds of document: a Confirmation of Participation, and a Record of Achievement once the test is passed.

No card and no identity document appear anywhere. The paper does not grant clinical authority, but in the NGO and public health sectors the WHO name is recognised.

Who it is for

Doctors, nurses, public health workers and NGO staff.

How to get it

  1. 1Open WHO (World Health Organization) and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
  2. 2Work through the material, ~6 h in total. It is self-paced, so the time is yours to spread.
  3. 3Complete every module. The document is issued on completion, not on an exam result.
  4. 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
