How do I create and assign certificates?

Certificates are a valuable way to recognise learner achievement and reinforce your training program's credibility. This guide explains how Super Administrators can design, customise, and assign certificates in Coursebox. From uploading branded templates to linking certificates to specific courses, you'll have full control over how completion is celebrated and displayed.
