Setting Up Completion Criteria

On a course, you can set a range of completion options for a learner. This completion criteria will then determine whether or not your learner is eligible to be awarded any certificates that you add.  

Below you will find instructions for setting up your completion criteria. For more information on adding a certificate, see our Attaching a Certificate in a Course article.
