Status: Available How certificates are generated when members complete a course.
Overview
TribeCrafter automatically generates a certificate when a member completes all lessons in a course. Certificates provide tangible proof of completion and add value to your course offerings.
How Certificates Work
Automatic Generation
Certificates are generated automatically when a member's completion percentage reaches 100%. No manual action is required from the admin or the member. The system:
- Detects that all lessons in the course have been marked as complete.
- Generates a branded PDF certificate.
- Stores the certificate and records the issue date on the enrollment.
- Makes the certificate available for the member to download.
Certificate Contents
Each certificate includes:
- Community logo -- Your community's logo as configured in Site Settings.
- Brand color -- Your community's primary brand color.
- Course title -- The name of the completed course.
- Member name -- The name of the member who completed the course.
- Completion date -- The date the certificate was issued.
One Certificate Per Enrollment
Only one certificate is issued per enrollment. If a member completes the course, receives a certificate, then un-marks a lesson and re-completes it, a new certificate is not generated. The original certificate remains valid.
Downloading Certificates
Once generated, the certificate PDF is linked to the member's enrollment record. Members can download their certificate from the course page.

- The certificate uses a basic branded template. Custom certificate designs are planned for a future update.
- Certificates are stored securely and cannot be edited by members.
