CERTIFICATES

OVERVIEW

image3002Certificates are for Premier and Enterprise account holders.

Certification is one of the most important elements of eLearning. It can be leveraged to increase the uptake and encourage the completion of training, and in several other ways to benefit both the organization as well as the employees. In order for your training certificates to be a valued source of credibility, they need to be earned. Organizations need to design their eLearning courses in such a way that learners must first demonstrate their newly found knowledge and abilities and meet a certain standard in doing so before they are awarded a certificate. This article covers how to leverage and use certificates in C4EBridge. To view and create a certificate go to ADMIN > ALL CERTIFICATES > CREATE NEW CERTIFICATES

The title will show up on both the top of your certificate and will show up on the Student Dashboard’s My Certificate section: A default certificate background comes with C4EBridge.  You can use the included background for your certificate or customize it by uploading your own branded background:

ATTACH THE CERTIFICATE TO AN ENGAGEMENT

Next, you must apply the certificate to an engagement to trigger the event. For example, you may want the learner to receive the certificate if they complete several courses in a curriculum. In that case, you should apply a Course Track to all the related courses.
