How To: Configure certification properties

To configure certification properties

1. Log in to your Administration portal, as a Global administrator or an admin with the Certification administrator role.
2. On the NAVIGATION pane, click Certifications.
3. On the Results page, click the certification to be configured.

INFO: You can use the Search option to find the certification that you want to configure.

4. On the Properties page, in the GENERAL panel, edit the following details:
   • NAME. The certification name that will appear on the learners certificate.
   • DESCRIPTION. A description of the certification that will be awarded.
   • EXTERNAL REFERENCE. The certification external reference. You will need to use this value, when performing bulk enrol or unenrol imports, for the certification.
   • Use the awarding item title on the certificate. Check this item to use the title of the awarding item on the certificate, rather than the certification name.

   INFO: If an administrator manually awards a certificate for the certification, the certification name will appear on the certificate, since the learner has not completed an associated item to award the certification.

5. On the Properties page, in the ENROLMENT panel, check the Require enrolment option, to specify that users must be enrolled on the certification, to be awarded the certificate, when they complete or pass any of the awarding items.

INFO: Where a certification is configured to use enrolment, learners must be enrolled on the certification to be awarded the certification, when they complete any of the specified awarding items. If they are not enrolled, and complete one of the awarding items, they will not be awarded the certification.

INFO: Where a certification is configured to use enrolment, administrators are able to manually award the certification to a learner,  whether they are enrolled or not.
