Course completion and certification

This section describes how the system tracks course completions, issues certifications, and enables reporting for compliance and learner achievements.


Include reminders on training that is pending, assignments that are due, or repeated trainings that are due cyclically (e.g., annual recertifications)

Answer

Moodle includes reminder features for pending training, due assignments, and recurring training like annual recertifications, helping learners stay on track.


Track and update learner profiles and history of learning within the system including course completion, pending course completion, pending recertifications, course attendance, assessment scores, course completion, certifications and other learning data

Combine both internal content delivered through LMS and reported external trainings (e.g., licensures, certifications, external trainings) in learner profiles.

Answer

Moodle tracks and updates comprehensive learner profiles, including both internal and external learning activities. It records course completion, pending courses, recertifications, attendance, assessment scores, and certifications.

Ahmed’s comment

Notifications can be configured either globally or for individual courses. Globally, you can enable notifications for web, email, and mobile, including assignment, quiz, and forum post alerts. For specific courses, like a computer science course, you can adjust settings to notify graders about submissions or late submissions, and choose whether to notify students. Other notifications, such as for quiz submissions or feedback, can be tailored similarly. Additionally, students can send messages to each other or their teachers, with notifications for these interactions also customizable.


Does your system provide the ability for learners to add external/offline learning to their transcript

Answer

Yes, Moodle provides the ability for learners to add external or offline learning to their transcript through the External tool and Activity completion features. Instructors can manually mark offline activities as completed, and learners can upload certificates or records of external training. These activities can then be tracked and included in the learner’s progress or transcript.


Does the system support recurring training

Answer

Yes, Moodle supports recurring training through features like manual course enrollment and scheduled course completion dates. While Moodle does not have a built-in feature specifically for automatically recurring courses, administrators can manually set up recurring enrollments or create recurring activities within courses using external plugins. Additionally, using certificate expiration settings, learners can be required to retake training after a set period.


Does the system support sign-in sheets/attendance tracking for classroom events

Answer

Yes, Moodle supports attendance tracking for classroom events through its Attendance plugin. This plugin allows instructors to manually record attendance for in-person or virtual classroom sessions. Instructors can set up sessions, mark attendance, and generate reports. The plugin also offers options for tracking attendance based on different criteria, such as presence, absence, or lateness, and can be integrated with Moodle’s grading system.


Notifications

Answer

Moodle offers a comprehensive notifications system that helps keep learners and instructors informed. Notifications can be customized for various events, such as course updates, assignment deadlines, grading, forum posts, and more. Users can receive notifications via email, pop-ups, or through the Moodle mobile app, depending on their preferences. Administrators can configure which events trigger notifications, allowing them to ensure that relevant information reaches users promptly. Learners can also manage their notification preferences to choose which types of alerts they want to receive.


Can learners access / print their transcripts

Answer

Yes, learners can access and print their transcripts in Moodle. The Grades page provides a detailed view of their academic progress, including completed courses and grades, which can be printed or exported as a PDF.


Does the system provide the ability to track professional licenses, certifications, and resuscitation certifications

Answer

Yes, Moodle allows tracking of professional licenses, certifications, and resuscitation certifications through the Certificate feature. Instructors can create custom certificates that include specific details such as license numbers, expiration dates, and certification information. Additionally, administrators can track certification renewals and set expiration dates for certificates, ensuring that learners are up to date with their professional qualifications.

Courses are structured to provide the knowledge and skills needed. Success depends on engagement, study habits, and performance on practice tests, but our courseware gives learners the foundation to confidently approach their exams.


Can students “test out” after taking a pre-assessment and receive credit for material they have already mastered

Answer

Yes, our courseware includes the option for students to “test out” of certain sections after taking a pre-assessment. If a learner demonstrates proficiency in a specific area during the pre-assessment, they can bypass related content and receive credit for material they have already mastered. This allows learners to focus on areas where they need further development, enhancing the efficiency of their learning experience. This “test out” functionality helps personalize the learning path and ensures that students are not required to repeat material they already know.


Are certificates available to the student for successful completion of the course

Answer

Yes, certificates are available to students upon successful completion of the course. These certificates serve as formal recognition of the learner’s achievement and can be used for professional development, continuing education, or as proof of mastering specific skills and knowledge. The certificates typically include details such as the course title, completion date, and the learner’s name. In some cases, they may also include a summary of key competencies or skills gained during the course.


Can these be forwarded to a manager or third party

Answer

Yes, certificates can be forwarded to a manager or third party. Upon successful completion of a course, learners can download or receive a digital version of their certificate, which can then be shared via email or other communication methods. This allows students to easily provide proof of their achievement to employers, managers, or any other relevant parties for professional development, performance reviews, or certification purposes.


What kinds of credits can be earned by achieving mastery of your courses – i.e. CEUs, PMI, HRCI

Answer

Our courses offer a range of credits that align with industry standards to recognize learners’ achievements. These include Continuing Education Units (CEUs), commonly awarded for professional development and training. Depending on the course and its relevance to specific industries, we also collaborate with other organizations to offer additional credits, ensuring that learners gain valuable credentials for their professional growth.
