You can upload a custom certificate to iSpring LMS. However, such a certificate does not include the learner’s name, course title, or other personal details by default.
To add personalized information, use variables. When a certificate is issued, iSpring LMS automatically replaces these variables with actual user and course data, such as the learner’s name, the course completion date, or the course title.
By default, iSpring LMS currently recognizes the following form fields:
| Variable | Description |
|---|
| CERTIFICATE_ID | A unique identifier for every certificate awarded. |
NAME | Name of student that completed your course. |
| COURSE_NAME | Course title. |
| COURSE_SUBTITLE | Certificate reference number or learning program the course belongs to. |
| DURATION | The amount of time student spent on completing your course. |
| COURSE_DURATION | Recommended duration time. |
DATE | Date when student completed your course in the day/month/year format. |
| DATE_ONLY | Date when student completed your course (time not included). |
| TIME_ONLY | Time when student completed your course (date not included). |
| EXPIRATION_DATE | Certificate expiration date automatically calculated starting from the date when the certificate was issued. |
| AWARDED_SCORE | Awarded score points. |
| PASSING_SCORE | Passing score (field will be empty if it is not specified). |
| DATE_EN | Date and time when the student completed your course in American date format: month/day/year. |
| INSTRUCTOR | Name of the instructor you chose when you added a new session.
It is displayed on certificates of completion that are issued for training. |
You can also insert any user profile field into a certificate. To do this, you will need to copy a user field ID and insert it in to certificate.
Check how to create a new custom field and set up its field ID in the User Profile Settings article.
