Certifications consist of specific requirements that learners must fulfill to earn their certification credits. This article outlines the various types of requirements you can implement.
Requirement Types:
Course: List shows all available courses in the site. Course must have at least one class for the selected group for it to show up on the list. For live classes, as soon as an instructor takes attendance the learner gets credit for the requirement.
- Auto-Enroll – This field is displayed if type is Course. Values are No and Yes. If yes, the course is automatically assigned to user once the certification is assigned to the user.
Write-in: Want to set a requirement that does not take place within the LMS. Examples: Learner submits a letter of recommendation, attend a live event. Allows user to enter custom requirement name.
- Maximum Credit/Hours – This field is displayed if type is Write-in. This is like Credit/Hours except for Write-in requirement type, multiple approvals or completions can be made to reach this maximum value. For example, the maximum credit is 10 hours. User can complete a 5-hour seminar, 2-hour live class and 3-hour field trip to achieve 10 hours. See image below.
