Recertification / CE Renewals

Who this guide is for: Admins running training that expires and must be retaken periodically (e.g. certifications valid for 12 months).

Give a course a validity period. When a learner completes it, their completion is stamped with an expiry date. As that date approaches, the recert worker automatically re-assigns the course so they renew before the credential lapses.

Set a validity period

1. Open the course in Admin → Courses.
2. In the editor’s Certificate panel, find Recertification.
3. Set Valid for (months) — e.g. 12 for an annual certification.
4. Leave it blank for courses that never expire.

How renewals work

• On completion, the enrollment’s expiry = completion date + validity period.
• A daily worker finds completions expiring within the lead window (default 30 days, RECERT_LEAD_DAYS) and re-assigns the learner: the enrollment returns to active, prior progress is cleared, and the due date is set to the expiry — so they must retake the course to stay certified.
• When they complete again, a fresh expiry is stamped and the cycle repeats.

Previously earned certificates remain in the learner’s wallet; each renewal cycle produces a new completion.

Recertification vs. recurring assignments

They can be combined, but for most “valid for N months” certifications a validity period alone is enough.
