Certificate is undoubtedly the MOST IMPORTANT tool for any learning platform. It denotes students’ academic excellence in a certain course. But unfortunately, all the LMS providers in the market offer certification only with the PRO version of their plugins. So you need to purchase the whole product to be able to offer certification to your students. This issue is particularly critical for education enthusiasts who are just setting up their eLearning platforms and hence, are short on cash.

At Dozent LMS, we believe in providing equal opportunity for everyone. And that’s why we are offering Certificates Plugin for each of our users. Now you can offer certificates of completion even if you are using the FREE version of Dozent LMS. And we are the ONLY LMS solution provider in the market with such an offer.

Why are we offering certificate plugin for free?

As we have said earlier, we want to provide equal opportunity for both big institutions and lone individuals. We have seen a paradigm shift in the nature of eLearning in this recent year and we decided to extend our helping hand to the educationists and students alike. So we are offering Dozent LMS Certificate as our GIFT to the learning community. We believe that our contribution can have a positive impact on the overall environment of education.

• With free certificate plugin, educators won’t have to charge money for certified courses to offset their cost of plugin purchase.
• Students will have the opportunity to get certified even in a free course that might be of huge importance to their employers.

Our motto is to ensure that nobody misses the chance of proving themselves just because of the shortage of money. This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY for every educationist out there.

How to add a certificate to a Dozent LMS course?

• In the title box, give a title to your certificate. Please be advised that this title is not the same as the heading of the certificate. All our certificates have a default heading of “Certificate Of Achievement”. These titles are just names so that you can distinguish them on the backend.
• In the Certificate Content box, write the lines you want your students to be appreciated. You may get an idea of the content from our example template where the brackets denote the variable content and outside the brackets denote static content.

• The Content Wrapper section contains the technical attributes of your certificates. It contains things like fonts, colors, text alignment, margin, and such. Tweak these options to tailor your certificate.
