What is the completion certificate for?

It is the legal document funders require (French decree 2019-1143) attesting the action was carried out. It is issued per learner and per session, with the attendance rate.

Where does the attendance rate come from?

It is computed from the session's planned duration and the learner's actual check-in/attendance (signed slot, otherwise full presence, otherwise 0).

Can I generate the certificate before the session is closed?

No. The certificate can only be generated once the session is closed. This guarantees that attendance is complete before the document is issued.

Is the certificate sent automatically to the learner?

No. Generation creates the PDF and archives it in Certeef. It is up to you to transmit it to the learner via the attestation sending action on the session record.

The completion certificate attests that a training action was actually delivered. It is issued per learner and per closed session, reusing the attendance already collected at sign-in.

Prerequisites

Admin role.
Session in Closing phase (completed).
Attendance complete for the learners concerned.

1. Generate the certificates

In the session’s Closing phase, the completion-certificate block offers one certificate per present learner:

Click Generate next to a learner (or Generate all for batch processing).
Certeef allocates a sequential number (prefix CR).
The attendance rate is computed (hours delivered vs planned).
The PDF is archived and downloadable immediately.

Tip: generate certificates in batch right after closing, faster than one by one, and you avoid forgetting a learner.

2. Mandatory mentions and funder

The certificate carries the required legal mentions:

Beneficiary (learner)
Training action title
Delivery dates
Attendance rate
Funder (if entered in funding tracking)
Organization’s legal representative (from the billing profile)

Important: verify that the funder is entered in funding tracking before generating the certificate, it cannot be modified after generation.

What’s next?

Manage funding : verify the funder before generation.
Export or archive a session : freeze the complete file after certificates.
