Overview
Handing out certificates by hand takes time, and a plain template rarely matches your brand. This add-on gives LearnDash course owners a builder where they lay out each certificate visually, with no coding. You can add logos, signatures, seals and custom backgrounds, and start from a ready-made template or create your own design.
Once a certificate is designed, it works with your LearnDash courses and quizzes. Certificates can be generated and sent when a learner completes a course or reaches a passing quiz score. Each one can carry the learner's details, course information, completion date and a custom message. It suits educators, trainers and course creators who want recognition to happen without manual steps.
Features
- Drag-and-drop certificate builder: Design certificates visually without writing code, and arrange the layout so it matches your branding and the theme of each course.
- Automatic certificate issuance: Certificates are generated and sent when a learner completes a course or passes a quiz, so recognition arrives without any manual work.
- Dynamic learner data: Insert learner information, course details, completion dates and custom messages into each certificate so every one is personalized.
- Multiple template options: Pick from a variety of designed certificate templates or build your own to fit different course requirements and styles.
- High-resolution PDF export: Certificates come as high-resolution PDFs that learners can download, print or share on social media and professional networks.
- Conditional display and access: Control who can view certificates based on user roles, course status or completion criteria, so they go only to qualified learners.
- Custom branding elements: Add logos, signatures, seals and custom backgrounds to give each certificate a look that belongs to your organization.
- Multi-language support: The add-on supports multiple languages and localization, which helps when your learners come from different regions.
Best for
- Course creators running LearnDash learning sites
