Our Motivation Behind Academy LMS Certificate Builder 

Previously, creating a certificate was a hassle when Academy LMS didn’t have an LMS certificate builder add-on. That is because users had to rely on third-party plugins to build certificates. There were compatibility issues with third-party tools, and creating a certificate was complex. 

Since we added the Academy Certificate builder to our domain, users can easily create, modify, and submit certificates. Also, modifying a template was difficult because users had to have some technical skills or specific knowledge. But that is not the case anymore because we tried to bring in all the features in this certificate builder that will minimize your effort.
