When you create a course you can decide if you would like it to issue a certificate.
The certificate is automatically issued when the user completes all of the modules in the course.
Certificates will dynamically add:
- learner name
- learner email address (optional)
- course name
- date passed
- status (passed or complete)
- score (optional, if saved by a scorm module)
Editing a certificate for a course
If you would like to edit the certificate for a course simply go to Manage Courses > {choose your course} > Edit Certificate.
From the settings available you can:
- Issue a certificate - use the toggle switch to enable/disable the certificate for that course
- Certificate expiry - specify how long a certificate is valid. This will indicate it has expired from the learners home page
- Certificate reminder - specify how many days warning learners get before their certificate expires
- Display user email address - toggle between displaying the users email address
- Display score - toggle between displaying the score, if the course is set to record this
- Date format - switch between date formats for international and US audiences
