Course Certificates

Issue a certificate when a learner earns it, with the grade they achieved on it and a unique issue number anyone can verify without logging in.

How It Works

Different Grades, Different Certificates

Certificates are driven by the grade boundaries you define on a course. Each band, such as Pass, Merit, and Distinction, covers a percentage range and can point at its own certificate template. A learner's earned credits percentage places them in a band, and that band decides which certificate they receive. A Distinction and a Pass produce visibly different documents rather than the same page with a different word on it.

Templates You Control

Create certificate templates, upload your own background design, and publish the ones you want in use. Mark one as your default. A template can be enabled or disabled, and a default template cannot be enabled while it is still a draft, which stops a half-finished design being issued to a cohort. Certificates are switched on per platform, and you can allow custom templates alongside the built-in ones.

Issued Records, Not Just Files

An issued certificate is a record: it carries a unique issue number, the grade achieved, credits allocated, credits earned, and the resulting percentage. Learners request their certificate from the course once they have completed it, and it is generated and made available to them. Reissues are governed by a per-course limit and a check on what qualifies for one, so a certificate is not something a learner can regenerate indefinitely.

Anyone Can Verify One

Every certificate has a public verification page. An employer, regulator, or admissions officer enters the certificate ID and sees the certificate number, issue date, course title and duration, the publicly listed instructors, the recipient's name, and the enrollment and completion dates. No account and no login is required, which is what makes a certificate worth anything outside your own platform.

Transcripts as Well

Alongside certificates, transcripts can be enabled for your platform and allowed per course, so a learner who needs a record of what they studied rather than a single completion document has one.
