Since VTA 8.0 got such a great makeover, we decided to spruce up the Online Certificate program, its instructions and templates.
There are other ways to associate or generate a completion certificate in VTA. For example:
•A modified Attendance Report can create a certificate for each student.
•You can scan hard-copies and associate them as Roster Documents so students, supervisors and instructors can access them in Learner.
Using the VTA Online Certificate program is still the easiest method to get a completion certificate into your students’ hands so we hope the 2017 updates help make that easier for you.
VTA Online Certificate – 2017 Update
Introduction
You can provide students the ability to launch a completion certificate when they have completed all required Lessons of a course. This is nothing new in VTA – that ability has been around for years. In 2012, we updated the program to add Credit Hours to the field list and provide instructions and templates to make the process easier for users.
