# Certifications Configuration

> Configure branded certificates for course completion

Design and configure branded certificates awarded upon course completion.

## Certificate Elements

* Organization logo
* Certificate title
* Member name
* Course name
* Completion date
* CPD points earned
* Certificate ID/number
* Signature (digital)
* QR code for verification

## Template Customization

* Background design/color
* Font selection
* Logo placement
* Text positioning
* Border styles

## Verification

Each certificate includes:

* Unique certificate ID
* QR code linking to verification page
* Public verification URL

#### Data Model Cross‑Reference (Entities)

Certificate issuance is derived from course completion/progress:

* Course completion + passing criteria: [`Course Enrollment`](/entities/core/course-enrollment)
* Course definition (CPD points, category, content structure): [`Course`](/entities/core/course)
* If certificates imply CPD awarding, awarded points should be recorded as: [`CPD Record`](/entities/core/cpd-record)
