Creating a Certificate

Add an Activity

Go to the course you want to issue certificates for and add an Accredible Certificates activity.

alt text Issuing a certificate is easy - choose from 3 issuing options:

  • Pick student names and manually issue certificates. Only students that need a certificates have a checkbox.
  • Choose the Quiz Activity that represents the final exam, and set a minimum grade requirement. Certificates will get issued as soon as the student receives a grade above the threshold.
  • Choose multiple Activities that need to be completed (attempted) for a student to receive their certificate.

alt text Note: if you set both types of auto-issue criteria, completing either will issue a certificate.

Once you've issued the certificate, head over to Accredible to edit the appearance.
