Certificates and report cards

Certificates

Completing a course or a learning path can issue a certificate: the person's name, what they completed, the date, and a signatory. It downloads as a PDF and carries a QR code.

The QR resolves to a public verification page — anyone can scan it and confirm the certificate is real, without a login. That is what makes it worth anything to an inspector or a next employer.

1. Signatory — whose name and signature go on every certificate.
2. Search — by person, course or serial number.
3. Expiring soon — lapsing in the next 60 days. Re-assign the course before they do.
4. Expired — no longer valid. Valid and Revoked are beside it.
5. Serial — what the QR on the certificate checks against.
6. Expires — red when it is close.
7. PDF — the certificate, with its QR code.
8. Revoke — withdraw one issued in error. The QR then says so.

Report cards

Learning → Report Cards is the manager's view: per employee, what was assigned, what was completed, average score, certificates held. Filter by section or outlet.

Read it for two things: individuals who are behind, and courses everybody scores badly on. The second is usually the course's fault, not the team's.

1. A person — their average across every attempt.
2. Average — across their attempts.
3. Passed — quizzes passed out of those taken.
4. Rank — this month, by points.
5. What to work on — topics where they keep getting it wrong.
6. Still outstanding — assigned and not done.
7. Certificates — what they hold, with the PDF.
8. Recent attempts — every attempt, not just the pass.

The leaderboard

Learning → Leaderboard, and Board in the Staff Portal, rank points earned in quizzes this month. It works well where training is a shared push and badly where it becomes a public ranking of who reads slowly — say which it is for.
