Creating a Certification

Creating a Certification

To create a new certification, access the Admin Menu, then press the Manage item in the Certifications & Retraining section. At the top of the next page, press the New Certification button. In the pop-up box, add a name (mandatory) as well as a code and description (both optional) for the certification.

Then, decide when the certification expires by entering the number and then selecting the time unit from the dropdown menu. If you insert 0 into this field, the certification will never expire. You can also decide if you will allow users to retake the same course or learning plan to renew their certification by clicking the corresponding checkbox. Please note that if you choose this option, all data related to previous completions of the course or learning plan will be lost once the certification is renewed.

Please note, if users choose to complete the renewal process prior to their certification expiring, their previous completion date will be retained as archived within the Users - Certifications and the Certifications - Users new and old custom reports.
