 Moodle Workplace – Certifications Certifications allow you to specify and track requirements for recurring programmes. Optionally, certifications can be retaken after a certain period. Here, the Workplace admin toggles the Workplace launcher to the left of their profile in order to navigate to certifications. Clicking on certifications displays currently active and archived certifications and new certification allows you to create a new one. A certification has to be linked to a programme and the dates then defined. Certification dates are the period that the certification is available and outside this time period the programme associated with the certification is not visible to learners. In this example, the certification starts once users are allocated to the programme and becomes due two months after the start of the programme. Allocation dates of the period in which learners can be manually allocated to the programme associated with the certification. From re-certification, if you set this to yes, you can keep the same initial programme so learners repeat it, or you can select a different programme, for example a refresher programme. The dates will always be relative to the previous certification dates. From users, you can see all users who have been allocated to the certification. Users may be manually allocated by clicking the allocate users button. And clicking the gear icon next to a user allows you, amongst other actions, to certify them directly, or to revoke their certification. From dynamic rules, similar to with programmes, automatic actions affecting the certification can be set up. For example, awarding a badge or issuing a certificate. Our admin here is going to allocate the users to another certification. To summarise, certifications allow you to specify and track requirements for recurring programmes. They can be retaken after a certain period.
