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.

Each variable must be entered between % signs. For example, %NAME%, %COURSE_NAME%.

By default, iSpring LMS currently recognizes the following variables:

Variable

%CERTIFICATE_ID%

A unique identifier for every certificate awarded

%NAME% 

The first and last name of the learner who completed your course

%COURSE_NAME%

The title of the course or training

%COURSE_SUBTITLE%

%DURATION%

The amount of time the learner spent to complete your course

%COURSE_DURATION%

%DATE_ONLY%

%EXPIRATION_DATE%

The certificate expiration date is automatically calculated, beginning from the date when the certificate was issued

%AWARDED_SCORE%

%PASSING_SCORE%

%DATE_EN%

%INSTRUCTOR%

The name of the instructor you chose when you added a new session.
It is displayed on certificates of completion that are issued for training purposes.

But, 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 the certificate.

Check how to create a new custom field and set up its field ID in the User Profile Settings article.
