Certificates
View, download, renew, and manage reminders for certificates you have earned.
What Certificates Is For
Certificates is the app where you see certificates and attachments you have earned in Skillhabit—browse what is still valid, download PDFs and files, start renewal when something is expiring, and control expiry reminders.
Certificates are issued when you complete content that has certificate issuance enabled in Create (courses, Imported Packages, programs, and meetups). This app is for holding and renewing those issued certificates. Authors configure validity and renewal paths in Create—those guides are linked below; this section does not repeat authoring setup.
Who Uses It
- Learners — everyone who earns certificates and needs to view, download, or renew them
- Administrators — configure issuance and renewal in Create; can also manage a user’s certificates from Users & Groups
