Received a lengthy reply from VBH (translated by DeepL from German):
The certificates/grades you receive according to the course description in the course program CLASSIC vhb, section "Examination", are created by the course administrators according to the examination regulations of the provider universities, not by the vhb. Since vhb is not a university but only an affiliated institute of its provider universities, it cannot - due to its lack of university status - issue graded certificates of attendance/certificates/grade certificates recognized in the university sector.
If you need to apply for the certificate/credit, you should find appropriate information in the course description or in the course. For students using courses from their own university, grades may only be reported to the Examinations Office through the usual channels.
The vhb acts only as a financier and broker (e.g., central participant registration, central catalog functions) of the course offerings distributed through the vhb. The courses offered via the vhb portals are the responsibility of the respective provider university. The course and examination implementation (i.e. content creation, course hosting, course supervision and examination taking, including grade determination and certification) is the responsibility of the university offering the respective course. Questions regarding the course/examination procedures can - beyond the information provided in the vhb course program - only be answered by the instructor offering and responsible for the course.
The university offering the course "Imaging in Astronomy" is the University of Würzburg (Prof. Dr. Kadler), course supervisor is Mr. Kappes (alexander.kappes@uni-wuerzburg.de) - from there you will also receive the certificate.
