Lifetime
The certificate records that you completed a program on a given date. That fact never changes, so it never expires.
Validity policy
How long a certificate stays valid
Validity depends on the program. Training-completion certificates are usually lifetime; certifications that test current skills carry a fixed validity and can be renewed.
Fixed validity
Some programs certify skills that change with the industry. These show a “Valid till” date on the certificate and on its verification page.
Renewal
Before or after expiry, the holder can request renewal online. The Certificate ID and QR code stay the same.

The validity printed on a certificate and shown on its verification page is the one that applies to that certificate.
What the status on a verification page means
- Valid
- The certificate is authentic and within its validity period (or has lifetime validity).
- Expired
- The certificate is authentic, but its validity period has ended. The completion itself still stands; the holder can renew to restore “Valid” status.
- Revoked
- The certificate has been withdrawn by Xylyn Samcommunity Private Limited and should not be relied on.
