Enroll or unenroll learners to the certification

For more information on enrolling learners and the steps to follow, see Enrolling Learners.

Unenrollment for learners

While creating certifications, Administrator has an option to select whether learners can unenroll themselves from the certification. If Administrator selects the option, then learner can unenroll themselves. 

Mark completion

Administrators can mark a Certification complete using the option available to them. To mark the completion of a certification, use the following steps.

Mandatory courses for external certification

In earlier releases of Learning Manager, course completion from learner in External certification was not mandatory to complete a Certificate.

You can now make courses mandatory by enabling the option Set required courses as Mandatory for Certificate Completion in the Curriculum tab while editing the cerification.

A certification can be edited by an Administrator at a published state. At this state, the Administrator can edit all the sections of a certification and re-publish. 

To edit a published certification, click the certification card and click Edit at the upper-right corner of the page.
