What it does
Many course creators want to give learners proof of completion, but making and sending certificates by hand takes time and invites mistakes. This add-on handles that inside LearnPress. When a student finishes a course, a certificate is generated and awarded right away. Dynamic fields fill in details such as the student name, course title and completion date, so every certificate is personal without any manual editing on your part.
Designs are built with a drag-and-drop editor that needs no design background. You can add custom text, logos and signatures, then assign a different template to each course. Students can save their certificates as PDFs or images and share them on social media or professional networks. Built-in verification helps guard against forgery, and you can also set a price on certificates if you want to sell verified credentials alongside your courses.
Best for
- LearnPress sites offering online courses
- Educators who want automatic completion certificates
- Training businesses selling verified course credentials
