Certificate Configuration
In this article we will cover how to generate course certificates.
Step 1: Configure Course Certificate Grading
Connect to Studio and select the desired course.
From the header menu select Settings > Grading
In the section 'Overall Grade Range', select the required grade to obtain the certificate.
Step 2: Setting / Modifying the Course Title
From the header menu select Settings > Certificate
Under 'Certificate Details' you will see your course title as it will appear on the certificate.
If desired, override the current course title by selecting '🖊️Edit ' and filling out the 'Course Title Override' text box. This will only modify the name of the course on the course certificate
Step 3: Adding / Modifying Certificate Signatories
From the header menu select Settings > Certificate
Under 'Certificate Signatories' select '🖊️Edit ', then add/modify the Name, Title, and Organization of the signatory as you want it to appear on the course certificate
'Upload Signature Image' in PNG format
Select 'Save'
To add an additional signatory select 'Add Additional Signatory'.
Step 4: Modify the Course Offering Organisation Name on the Course Certificate
To change the organization name for 'a course of study offered by ....', follow these steps:
From the header menu select Settings > Advanced Settings

Step 8: Modify Certificate Behavior
💡 After certificate generation, students who passed see a link to their certificates on the dashboard and students who did not pass see information about the grading configuration. The default is to only display certificates to students after the end of the course date.
