This article will guide you through how to set up courses within your LMS for training purposes using the Open LMS Programs and Certifications plugins in Moodle.
These courses can be allocated to users individually or as a group and certificates awarded to users on completion. Certifications can also be set up to trigger reminders and requirements for users to re-complete after a certain period of time.
Before beginning, please check that both the Programs and Certifications plugins are installed in your LMS by clicking on Site Administration and checking that you can see the following Admin options:
(If these are not visible, please lodge a ticket for us to get this installed for you).
Part #1: Setting up Programs
Programs allow courses to be bundled together and require completion of all requirements before being marked as “completed”.
Use case scenario: As part of onboarding, you may require your staff to complete 3-4 separate courses such as First Aid. Programs will allow you to easily manage their set of courses and enrol the user only once into the program instead of individually into each course. Users will also receive a certificate once they have completed all the requirements.
Click on Site Administration > Programs > Programs Management > Add Program

Note: If you are using Certifications, you only need to enrol students in Part #2.
Part #2: Setting up Certifications
Certifications allow you to configure users to re-complete their Programs after a certain period of time. For example, you can ensure users complete their training courses every 12 months.
