Assign and issue
Under Assign and issue, choose Course or Cohort, pick one and select Assign template. Certificates are issued straight away to learners in that group who meet the , and each is emailed. For a cohort, learners must have finished every course on its pathway. Learners still finishing are skipped; assign again later to issue theirs.
Tip: Every certificate carries a unique number, a verification code, the FEMNET seal and a QR code. Anyone can scan the code to confirm the certificate is genuine.

Check or revoke issued certificates
Issued certificates lists every certificate from the selected template. Select Revoke if one was issued in error; the learner sees it as revoked.
Step 1: Open Certificate Studio
If something goes wrong
- A learner finished the course but has no certificate.
- Check Progress: every activity must be complete and the assessment average must be at least 70%. Then assign a template again, or complete their cohort, to issue it.
- Someone asks whether a certificate is real.
- Ask them to scan its QR code, or enter its verification code on the learner app's /verify page. Revoked certificates show as revoked.
