Instead of creating a new certification, you may want to duplicate an existing certification. Any users with the Clone certification (totara/program:clonecertification) capability can duplicate a certification. To duplicate a certification, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the certification (e.g. via the catalogue or Quick-access menu > Certifications).
- Click Edit certification details.
- Click Clone certification.
- Select the components you want to copy from the following:
- Copy details (if this isn't checked then the default settings will be used)
- Copy content
- Copy notifications
- Click Clone.
If you have the Edit certification capability you can now configure the new certification as required (users without this capability will instead see the Overview tab). By default the new certification will be hidden. You can now update the Full name and Short name, and give the certification a new Certification ID.
The Totara Academy has a whole course dedicated to using Programs and certifications in Totara Learn. Here you can learn more on how to use programs and certifications, see best practice, and give it a go yourself.
