Run a professional continuing education provider with Learnomy

Proof of engagement, not just a click. Run a certification body, Phase 2, lists the per-lesson Completion rule options: Manual, Auto: time on page, Auto: video watched, Auto: scroll to end, Auto: quiz pass, Auto: SCORM, or all combined. A CE provider should avoid Manual for graded content, since a board expects more than a self-reported click. Auto: time on page is the right default for a reading-heavy compliance lesson (a minimum-time floor as an honest proxy for actually reading it); Auto: video watched for a recorded lecture; Auto: SCORM for any lesson built from an externally authored compliance module, so completion cannot be clicked through at all.

The course-level completion requirement. The same guide's Phase 2 also covers course-level rules: All Lessons Completed, Lessons + Final Quiz, Percentage of Content, or Manual Completion. A CE provider whose real bar is a graded knowledge check should pick Lessons + Final Quiz, so nobody earns credit without clearing the passing score on a Graded exam.

Proctoring the knowledge check. Turn on Track Tab Switches at LMS Settings > Settings > Quiz, covered in Run a certification body, Phase 1. The Your options here table there applies unchanged: off, on with no auto-submit, or on with an auto-submit threshold. A CE exam should always turn tracking on; whether you auto-submit is the same judgment call the certification-body guide walks through.

Credential form. The same guide's Phase 4 covers three forms that stack: a PDF certificate (free, automatic), Open Badges 3.0 (Pro, a portable W3C assertion for a badge wallet or LinkedIn), and a Credly push (Pro, needs a connected Credly account). A CE certificate's PDF is the document a professional keeps on file for an audit, so design the template to state the credit hours or units earned and the completion date, alongside the standard QR-coded verification link.

The expiry boundary, honestly. A certificate can carry an optional expires_at date -- set through the REST API, since there is no field for it in the course editor -- and Learnomy's daily cron job flips its status to Expired automatically once that date passes, exactly as it would for a normal certificate lookup. What Learnomy does not do is recertification: there is no built-in workflow that re-enrolls or reminds a credential holder once their certificate expires, and no renewal course is created for them automatically. If your board requires a recurring CE cycle, plan to track expiry dates and prompt renewal yourself, outside Learnomy, and re-enroll the person in the same or an updated course when the cycle comes around.
