If I Do A Course And Get A Certificate Issued, Who Is The Legal Owner Of That Certificate?
The employer paid for the courses but on leaving will not pass the certificates on.
This doesn't apply to me as I have all mine, but the issue was raised when I changed jobs.
I am under the impression that the person attending the course owns the certificate, not the person paying for it!

They may charge up to a tenner so ask yourself is it worth it?

Maydup, you are wrong. The certificates do not belong to the attendee.
The person attending the course is qualified for the role and is perfectly able to claim it on their CV, however, the actual paper certificate belongs to the employer, who is the account holder for the course.
I did an employer paid course last week and the printed certificate goes to my employer, and a little card comes to me to put in my purse.
That's a nice way of doing it, but I don't think it's obligatory
