Access to training certificates
After completing an online safety training course please download the training certificate(s) from the European XFEL training certificate application. Please remember, the certificate(s) must be printed-signed-scanned and sent to the email inbox indicated on the certificate. If you do not have a printer, we accept electronic signatures on certificates, as long as the signature resembles the personal handwritten signature and is not typed on a keyboard.
For a smooth process, the certificates should be sent at least 2 working days prior to arrival (they are checked and entered manually into the access system). If this is not done, access delays are to be expected.
