So what are some of the requirements for adding a Coursera certificate to linkedin? ( They are mainly determined by the type of course you took) 

1)  It must be an actual certificate  (not just unofficial copies).  If you took the full course and received a certificate, you can even upload a copy of it to your profile.

2)  Your Coursera certificate will need to have this information:

Name of the organization that issue the certificate.  The name of the course that you took.  Official website for coursera certificates .   Link to Coursera certificate or link back to Coursera Certificate website.  If it’s a certificate for some other online course like Udacity, you can still include some of the above information.

3)  You will also need to proof that you actually completed the course by taking this course assessment.  People are usually ok with proof after you’ve finished the course.  If you finish all of the quizzes and answer all of the questions, it will usually work out perfectly fine even if your coursera certificate is unofficial or unofficial copies.
