For simplicity reasons we are going to brake them down one after the other. We are going to start with the first one Certificate followed by others.

Certificate

Certificate is an official document that shows that a student has completed a course of study or passed an exam. This help to show that a student has finished a particular course of study. Sometimes it may contain grades obtained from each subjects offered, year of attendance and year of completion from a particular school. It has benefits, because it will enable students to see the products of their hard works.

 Results

This is a mark or grades students get in an exam or in a number of exams and test. This can be issued at the end of every academic term. It also has benefit, since it shows the number of subjects offered and needs to make improvements on each.

Degree

This is the qualification obtained by students who successfully complete a university or a collage course.

This enables students to see the products of their hard work, and to see the need of achieving a brighter future with their degree certificate.

In some online education, universities issue degree certificate to students by invitation or by mailing it directly to students’ place of residence.

Diploma

This word diploma is sometimes used to refer to certificate, or degree. However, diploma is the definition of both degree and certificate. So diploma meant the same thing as degree and certificate. So whichever a student is offered is still beneficial, since it is the records of your hard work for a particular period of time of study.
