Certificate Management

Certificates are a valuable way to recognise learner achievement, award a completion certificate, and reinforce your training program's credibility. Whether you want to create a certificate, design a certificate template, link a certificate to a course, download a certificate, or email a certificate to a learner, this section covers everything.

Watch the tutorial videos found in our YouTube Video Library.
