Create a new Certificate
To create a certificate for your course, follow these steps.
  1. In Studio, from the Settings menu, select Certificates.

  2. On the Certificates page, select Add your first certificate or Add a new certificate.

  3. Add a signatory for each person associated with the course or organisation whose name and title you want to appear on the certificate. You must specify at least one signatory. You can add as many signatories as needed.

  4. Optionally, upload an image file showing the signature of each signatory.

    The image file must be a transparent .png file, 450px by 150px.

  5. When you have finished creating your certificate, select Create.

    You can preview the certificate to see how it will appear to a learner taking the course in the selected mode.

    Your course certificate is not available for issuing to learners until it is activated.

Specify a Different Course Title


Optionally, you can specify an alternative course title to use on the certificate. You might want to use a different title on your course certificates if, for example, the official course name is too long to fit on the certificate.
  1. In Studio, from the Settings menu, select Certificates.

  2. On the Certificates page, at the top of the certificate form, select the Edit icon.

  3. In the Course Title Override field, enter the alternative title for your course.

  4. Select Save.

You can also specify an alternative course number. To do this, see refer to next section of this article.

Specify a Different Course Number


Optionally, you can specify an alternative course number to use on the certificate.

You might want to use a different number on your course certificates if, for example, the official course number is meaningful only within your institution.

  1. In Studio, select Settings, and then Advanced Settings.

  2. Locate the Course Number Display String field. This field contains the course number you set to override the official course number on certificates.

  3. Between quotation marks (" "), enter the course number you want displayed on certificates.

  4. Select Save Changes.

    A message lets you know whether your changes were saved successfully.

Specify a Different Certificates Available Date


By default, certificates become available to learners 48 hours after your course ends. You can also specify a different date to make certificates available.
  1. In Studio, open your course.

  2. On the Settings menu, select Schedule & Details.

  3. In the Course Schedule section, enter the date and time when you want to issue certificates in the Certificates Available Date and Certificates Available Time fields.
