The problem

What certification needs

A certification program has to be credible. Candidates must complete required learning, pass an assessment under fair conditions and receive a certificate that third parties can check. Many credentials expire and need renewal, and professional bodies often award continuing education credits.

Tutor LMS Pro provides the foundations: prerequisites, quizzes with passing grades and attempt limits, certificates designed in the Certificate Builder, and certificate verification added in Tutor LMS 4. We add what credentialing bodies usually need on top, such as credits, expiry and transcripts.

  • Assessment integrity

    Fair, timed exams with limited attempts.

  • Verification

    Employers checking certificates are genuine.

  • Expiry and renewal

    Credentials that lapse and must be renewed.

  • Credits

    CE or CPD credits tracked per learner.

In depth

Building credible certification

Assessment

Tutor LMS quizzes store every attempt with marks and result. Time limits, attempt limits, passing grades and randomized questions support fair exams; open-ended answers can be graded manually.

Certificates

The Certificate Builder plugin designs templates, and Tutor LMS Pro issues certificates on completion. Tutor LMS 4 added certificate verification and progress-linked unlocking. Custom data such as credits or expiry dates can be added to certificates.

Credits and renewals

Credits and expiry are custom features we build on course completion events, stored per learner and shown on transcripts. See custom development.
