View and Download
Browse Active and Expired certificates, filter the list, and download PDFs and attachments.
What This Is For
Use Certificates to see what you have earned, tell active certificates from expired ones, and download the certificate PDF plus any attachments authors attached in Create.
Who This Is For
Anyone with certificates in the workspace (typically learners). Administrators managing certificates on a profile use Users & Groups instead.
Before You Start
- You need at least one issued certificate. Complete content that issues a certificate in Learn (or finish a meetup once attendance is approved in Follow Up).
- If the list is empty, Certificates shows that you have none yet and offers Go to Learn.
How the List Is Organized
The app is not tabbed. When you have certificates in both states, you see two sections on one page:
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Expired certificates | Certificates past their expiry date (listed first when present) |
| Active certificates | Certificates that are still valid |
Within each section, rows are grouped by month:
- Active — by issue month (newest months first)
- Expired — by expiry month (newest months first)
Each row shows the content name and type (course, SCORM, program, or meetup), plus dates:
- Active — issued date, and expiry date when the certificate can expire
- Expired — the date it expired
Open a row to see the related content overview (same pattern as elsewhere in Skillhabit).
Filter and Search
At the top of Certificates:
- Search by content name.
- Filter by Type: Course, Meetup, or Program. Choosing Course also includes SCORM certificates.
- Clear filters if you see No results found and expected certificates disappear.
Download a Certificate or Attachment
On a certificate row where Download is available:
- Open Download (the control may show a count badge: the certificate itself plus any attachments).
- Choose Certificate to generate and download the PDF. Skillhabit may show Generating your Certificate… for a few seconds, then download the file.
- If authors added attachments, choose an attachment name from the same menu to download that file.
When Download is hidden: If the row shows Recertify instead (certificate expired or within about three months of expiry, and renewal content is configured), the download menu is not on that row. Renew first if you need a fresh certificate after completing renewal, or wait until Recertify no longer applies to that row. Details: Renewal.
If generation fails, confirm you still have a valid result for that content, then try again from Certificates.
