Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Certificate

Customize Certificate with Dynamic Values

You can personalize certificates using dynamic placeholders that automatically pull data from quiz results.

The following values are supported:

  • {{learner}} – Displays the participant’s name
  • {{quiz_title}} – Shows the quiz, exam, or assessment title
  • {{completion_date}} – Outputs the quiz completion date
  • {{total_questions}} – Displays the total number of questions in the quiz

Simply insert these placeholders into any text block within the certificate layout, and QuizPress will replace them with real data when the certificate is generated.

Customize Certificate Design

Customize Certificate Design
  • Adjust layout, add background images, and upload your logo.
  • Use the design panel to modify text style, spacing, and placement.
  • Preview the certificate in real-time to ensure it looks exactly as you want.

Once you’re satisfied with the design, click Save. The certificate template is now ready to be used with quizzes in QuizPress. Certificates can be exported as PDF for preview or offline use.
