Recognize and reward your learner's achievements with a custom certificate that reflects the test subject or your organization's branding.

With FlexiQuiz quiz maker, you can upload certificates with your branded design that we will automatically share with learners when they pass your test.

This guide shows you how to create and award custom-branded certificates.

How to create your custom certificate

To start, you need to create a template for the certificate and leave blank spaces where you want FlexiQuiz to add the text.

Certificate design guidelines

• You can create a certificate in a Portrait or Landscape design.
• The image must be the following size: 1600px by 1130px.

How to upload your certificate template

Once you have your branded certificate template, you can upload it to the relevant quiz and customize the text.

1. Select the quiz where you want to add the certificate.
2. On the Configure screen, select Certificate from the left-hand menu.
3. Scroll down to Background and select Custom from the drop-down menu.

How to customize the text on your certificate

Certificates can include fixed or dynamic text.

Fixed text is the same for all learners.

Dynamic text automatically changes based on the learner's data, such as the learner's name, test results, date of exam, grade, expiry date, and more. Dynamic text is in square or curly brackets.

1. To delete any existing line item, press the X on the right-hand side of each line.
2. To add new line items, click Add item.
3. Now add your text to each line. Enter the tag for the dynamic text in a square or curly bracket.
4. To position the text, you can align to the page's left, center, or right. You can also choose how far from the top you want the text to show. In the Top column, enter the distance from the top in pixels.
5. Then, choose the size and color of the text.

The certificate image will show you the layout as you edit the text.

Learn more about dynamic text

The FlexiQuiz system will automatically add the text based on the learner's data. For example, their name, the date their take the quiz or their results. You can choose what text to add and position dynamic text using tags.

We match the data from the learner using the tag. For example, we populate the Name tag using the First name and Last name on a registration page or respondent portal user fields.

Important! If you customize the registration fields on a registration page, you must update the dynamic text tag.
