# Edit a certification

Once a certification has been created it is still possible to make changes by editing the certification, although be aware that if a certification is live, any changes made will impact on the assigned learners.

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Certifications*.
2. Select the name of the category (or sub category) in which the certification sits.
3. Select the corresponding **Settings** icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1637244105831.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T14%3A47%3A37Z&se=2026-11-01T15%3A47%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zjPXTJ3LJy7Jy7dOcuBBXoLnrbTXiRecQZLeOIuEO44%3D)) for the required certification, or select the certification name to open it, then select **Edit certification details.**
4. Configure the certification [**Details**](/19/docs/certification-details)**,** [**Content**](/19/docs/adding-certification-content)**,** [**Assignments**](/19/docs/assign-learners-to-a-program-or-certification) and [**Notifications**](/19/docs/managing-program-and-certification-notifications).
5. Select **Save changes** on each page to save any edits or **Cancel** to disregard.

A certification can also be deleted, moved up or down the certification listing page, or moved to another category within the category certification listing using the corresponding icons in the **Edit** column.
