Firmwater LMS can generate a completion certificate for a user who has successfully completed an activity. The certificate includes the following information:
- Student's first and last name
- Title of the activity completed
- Date of completion
The position of these elements are fixed but the look of the certificate can be modified by changing the background image used (we can help you do this). The background image can include such things as:
- Organization name and logos
- Signature field
- Signature stamp
Completion Certificate Access
An administrator can decide whether the student is allowed to print her own certificate and/or whether administrators can print it. Setting completion certificate access can be done for a single activity or as a bulk operation on a group of selected activities.
Settings
| Students |
When checked, students who have successfully completed the activity will see a link titled 'Completion Certificate' when they drill into the activity from their training plan. This will allow them to download a PDF version of the certificate (with their information completed). |
| Administrators |
When checked, administrators can print completion certificates for students that have successfully completed the activity. Certificates can be printed for a single user (by drilling into the user's training plan) or for all completed users as a batch, one per page (from the participants page). |
