What are course completion certificates?
Certificates are an important part of training as they validate skills and knowledge gained through learning programs. With SafetyCulture, you can provide certificates for each course your team members complete. To make it more relevant, you can even customize certificates to match your branding.
Although creating new certificate templates is only available to organizations on the Premium Plan and Enterprise Plan, organizations on the Free Plan can still customize the default certificate template.

Limitations
If your course has translations, standard templates will be translated based on the language in which the user completes the course. However, advanced completion certificates are delivered in the language they were originally created in. Even if users complete a translated version of the course, they will receive the certificate in the original language.
