We moved recently and as we were putting things away, my daughter pulled out her treasure shoe box that holds, among other things, all the certificates she’s ever received. Truth be told, I probably still have a box like that somewhere around the house. Certificates are valued because they give people a feeling of accomplishment. You can reward your learners with certificates for each eLearning course they complete successfully by using the certificate feature in Lectora.The certificate tool is just one of many special feature tools in Lectora. It guides you through customizing a certificate. When completed, the certificate is added as a page within your course. In just a few easy steps you can create your custom certificate:

Select a style of certificate from the list. A preview of the selected style is displayed to the right. There are 12 different styles to choose from and you can customize the fonts and sizes.
