In the tutorial below, you will learn how to create and integrate a certificate in a course with Dokeos LMS (creator of e-learning solutions that supports companies, training providers and multinationals in their online training projects)

Create your certificate with PDF Escape

1. Create the base of your certificate in an image processing software and download / save it in PDF format.  

Example on Canva :

2. Open PDF escape and click on "Free Online".

3. Then, import the PDF that you previously created on Canva or Illustrator.

4. Click on "Form Field" and choose the type "Text". Then click on "Select".

5. In your certificate, click on the area where you want to insert a field (example: "LEARNER DOKEOS", "Training 1", "Dokeos", "TRAINER DOKEOS" and “ADMIN DOKEOS”).

6. When you insert your fields, you have to configure them to give them a name.

To do this, click on the field, and in the top menu, click on the settings icon to access the settings for the field. 

Once in the settings, change the name of the field in the same manner indicated above. Otherwise they will not be detected. In addition, you are not obliged to put them ALL.

The system detects the following fields for your certificates:

  • Fields to be completed by the creator: title, skills, group_name, company_name, address, phone_number

  • Fields automatically managed by the system: date, participant_name, score, time_spent

7. Perform this operation for all your fields.

8. When you have finished your certificate, save it as a PDF. Simply import it on your portal by following the tutorial below:
