Import Awarded Certificates
You can award certifications to one or more learners at once, or delete certifications from learners' transcripts, via the Awarded Certificates CSV Loader. You must first populate in a comma—or semicolon—separated values (CSV) file a row for each user you want to award a certification to or delete a certification from. For more information, see Awarded Certificates CSV Loader Field Reference.
Administrators with unrestricted access to the Awarded Certificates CSV Loader feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Certification Manager) can import awarded certificates CSV files.
