Certificate Configuration
Turn on Certificate issuance, attachments, and Activate recertification.
What This Is For
Certificate issuance lets a built-in course, SCORM package, program, or meetup issue a certificate when the learner completes successfully.
For meetups, completion is recorded when attendance is approved in Follow Up—then the certificate can issue if enabled.
This page covers enabling certificates on content. Expiration, reminders, and renewal paths: Certificate Expiration and Renewal.
Who This Is For
Collaborators and administrators configuring compliance or completion credentials in Create.
Before You Start
- Content exists in Create (draft is fine while configuring; learners need a published item).
- Decide whether certificates should expire and whether learners will renew via recertification content.
- Workspace branding already drives the default certificate look; fully custom designs may need Skillhabit support.
Steps — Enable Certificate Issuance
- Open the content in Create → configuration.
- Open Certificate issuance.
- Enable Enable certificate for this course (wording may say course, SCORM, program, or meetup depending on type). When enabled, a certificate is issued on successful completion.
- Optionally open Certificate attachments to Attach an additional document to the certificate.
- Optionally open Activate recertification:
- Set Certificate is valid for... (for example 6 months, One year, Two years, Three years, Five years)
- Choose Content to use for recertification... (or Renewed by itself when the same content renews the certificate)
- Where offered, Delete and replace this certificate instead of renewing it (self-destruct / replace behaviour)
- Save / publish as needed.
Result
Completing learners receive a certificate in the Certificates app, following workspace branding. Renewal settings feed expiration reminders and renew flows.
