Certificate Training: Certificates are a mid to late game requirement for ship-based items that you may wish to fit or use. If the item, say a weapon, has a Certificate requirement, it will be shown when viewing the item’s info page, as per the following image.
Certificates can be purchased from certain stores or gained by completing NPC mission lines.
You must be level 60 or above and have a ‘Superior Head Implant‘ fitted to start the certification process.
Certificates are unique in Core-Exiles in that they are learnt in real time. Once you have a certificate, it will show in the bottom list and display your Current Level for that certificate.
You can only train ONE certificate at a time, and once commenced it cannot be stopped! So choose wisely.
Once a certificate has been uploaded to the neural buffer of a head implant, it begins to slowly diffuse the information over time, allowing the ‘recipient’ to instantly recall these new commands with zero side effects.
When a certificate has completed its ‘Learning Cycle’, you will also find that you accrue a certain amount of ‘Certificate Points’. These can be collected and traded in for IP points at the IP Trainers dotted around the Galaxies.
It is suggested to purchase the early basic certificates and learn them in the background, whilst playing, so that you have a foundation in certificates when the time comes to start needing them later.
