Problem with Certificates

[justlooking]

Is it possible to associate a Certificate with an Assessment? The scenario is that I want my students to be able to take an assessment and receive a certificate for passing that assessment. Is that possible? If so, what are the proper steps to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi William, welcome onboard!
Yes it is possible:

1 - Create a certificate model (administration > elearning > certificates management)
2 - Create a Course from administration > elearning > elearning > courses, and assign it your certificate
3 - From the LMS create a test object inside your course, configuring it as "End object marker" in the object properties

At this point, when a user will pass the test object he will be able to download a his certificte.
Let us know if you need further help with this!

Hi William,

the short answer is yes, certainly, that's what certificates are for!

The logic behind the certificates is slightly different, yet: a certificate is linked to a course, not to an assessment.

So: create a course (in the administration area) and assign a certificate to users that have completed that course
Then go into the teacher area of your course (in frontend), create your assessment, set is as end-object marker (through the objects' proprieties).

That's it! When your students complete the assessment it means they'll have completed the course and as a consequence they are assigned their certificate.
