: As I said, it's not a collocation. Clients may not always be the best judges.>"Accomplished the course" sounds very non-native-like. These two words do not form a collocation, and much less do they form a fixed phrase normally found on diplomas.

You can't say "successfully passed", as it's a tautology.
