This feature is part of Moodle Workplace, which is available through Moodle Partners.

Overview

Certificates are diplomas that can be issued upon completion of programs and certifications. Site-wide certificates can be created in Moodle Workplace, and certificates can be shared among tenants. The certificate is based on the Moodle custom certificate plug-in, but with added capabilities relevant to workplace tenants, and a completely redesigned interface.

Static elements

Add static elements like "Border" or "Text". Since these elements are not dynamic (see below), they will be printed equally in al certificate issues.

Dynamic elements

Add dynamic elements like "Date", "User field", "User picture", etc. which will be filled automatically with the user data at the moment of issuing.

Dynamic rule data

Since Dynamic rules can be configured to issue certificates, the element "Dynamic rule date" may be used to print data related to the dynamic rule that triggered the issuing like "Course name" or "Completion date", for example.

By clicking in the elements you will be able to edit its properties like colour or font size. You may also use drag and drop to place the elements wherever you want.
