Skillset Certificates

A customized certificate allows you have to produce a formal certificate of training completion during a regulatory compliance audit.

Below are the guidelines for Skillset Certificates

  • The permission needed to create, manage or delete a certificate is LMS admin at the company or division level.
  • You can create a customized certificate and attach it to one or more skillsets. This allows you to print a certificate for a learner when that learner receives credit for all training items that are components of the skillset.
  • The certificate lists all training item components, their objectives, score, result, hours credited and date completed.
  • You can also choose to display name and address of the company or company location (division), description and location of training material, and name of trainer.

Below is the workflow for certificates

  1. The administrator finds or creates a skillset that includes all training item components necessary for certification and assigns the skillset to the learners.
  2. The administrator creates a certificate for the skillset.
  3. The learners complete all training items that are components of the skillset.
  4. The administrator runs the skillset certificate report to view and print the certificate.
