Certificates in Course Catalog are PDFs that are awarded to learners based on measures defined by the offering manager or certificate and progress assigner. When learners successfully meet the requirements, they are awarded the certificate. They will then be able to download the PDF, and they will have access to a certificate authenticity link that they can share with others which will verify their achievement.

Certificate Management involves creating, editing, and deleting certificate templates, mapping form fields either to fields in Blackboard or to generated data, and assigning certificates to offerings.
