Give students a certificate when they finish a course. You design it once with the built-in certificate builder, and Academy LMS fills in each student’s name, course and date. No extra page builder plugin is needed.
Note: Turn on the Certificates add-on in Academy LMS → Add-ons. It comes with ready-made designs.
Pick the certificate students get
Go to Academy LMS → Certificates. Students get no certificate until one is marked Primary. Open the ··· menu of a certificate and choose Make Primary (2). If you see Action Required: Download Fonts (1), click Download Fonts first, because certificate PDFs cannot be created without these fonts.
Create your own certificate
Click Add New Certificate. Enter a Certificate name (1), start from a blank page or one of the designs (2), then click Next: Page setup (3) to choose the page size and background.
The builder opens. Drag blocks such as Text, Image, QR code, Signature and Date from the Blocks panel (1) onto the page. In any text, you can insert fields that fill in automatically:
Use Page Setup to change the size later, and click Save (2).
Use a different certificate for one course (Pro)
Open the course, go to the Settings step and scroll to Certificates. Click Select Certificate and choose one. This course then uses it instead of the Primary certificate.
Let people verify a certificate (Pro)
Go to Academy LMS → Tools → Shortcodes and copy the Certificate Verification shortcode. Paste it into any page and publish it. Anyone can then enter a verification code on that page to check that a certificate is real.
