Overview

Certificates are the recognitions your learners earn for completing learning in SuperPath. Before you can award one, you create the Certificate itself — giving it a name and description, and optionally setting an expiry period, provider details, an image and a certificate file to attach when it's awarded.


Certificates are created on the Certificates page in your settings.


How to create a Certificate

  1. Go to Settings → Features.



  1. Click Manage Certificates.



  1. Click Create certificate.



  1. Click the Enter name field and type the name of the Certificate.



  1. If the Certificate expires, toggle this on and enter the appropriate number of months.



  1. Click the Enter description field and enter a description for the Certificate.



  1. Click the icon beside Additional settings to add extra optional information.



  1. If you have an image for the Certificate, upload it in the image box.



  1. If the learning is from a provider, enter the provider name and website in the spaces provided.



  1. If you have a file to attach once the Certificate is awarded, upload it to the Certificate File box.



  1. Click Create certificate.



Things to keep in mind

  • Only the name and description are required — expiry, the provider details, the image and the Certificate file are all optional.
  • Set an expiry period (in months) only if the Certificate should lapse and need renewing; otherwise leave the expiry toggle off.
  • The file you add to the Certificate File box is the one attached to the learner's record once the Certificate is awarded.


Who can do this

Owners, Admins, Managers and Content Managers can create Certificates. People Managers, Instructors, Employees and Restricted users cannot — they can only view existing Certificates. On the API, creating a Certificate requires the create permission on Certificate; Owners, Admins, Managers and Content Managers hold manage on Certificate, which includes create.
