Step by step guide to customizing a certificate

Step by step guide to customizing a certificate

Whether you’re looking to recognize achievements or issue training completions, Zoho Learn offers an intuitive and customizable platform to design professional-looking certificates with ease. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of selecting, customizing, and issuing your certificates using pre-designed templates. By the end, you’ll be able to create certificates that not only look great but also help you keep track of your learners' progress. Let’s get started!

Step 1 : Choose a template

The first step to creating your certificate would be choosing a template from the available list of templates.

Step 2 : Add the fields

Once you've selected your template, drag and drop the fields such as learner name, course name, completed date, start date, and author name. These fields will be auto populated once you assign the certificate to the course.


Step 3 : Format the fields

Delete the sample fields from the certificate and then format and align the fields that you've added.


Step 4 : Customizing headings and paragraphs

If you wish to add or customize headings and paragraphs within your certificates, you can drag and drop the particular field from the elements section and type in the text that you prefer. After customizing the text, you can format it using the options that appear at the top of the editor view.

Step 5 : Customize the Image

Drag and drop the Image element from the Elements tab and upload the image of your choice from your device.



Step 6 : Format the image

Once you have inserted the image, set the size of the image from the drop-down option on top of the editor view.


Step 7 : Customize the background image

You can customize your certificate's background by either choosing a background from the Gallery or by choosing to upload an image from your device.


 Step 8 : Assign the certificate

Once you have customized your certificate, you can assign it to the course by selecting Done.
