# Partner Certifications

Certifications help partners prove they've completed your training and let you track who's qualified to sell or support your product.

## Overview

In this guide, you'll learn how to create and manage certificates, assign them to courses, and see which learners have earned them.

:::info
You'll need an Admin or Editor role to make changes here. If the fields appear locked or read-only, check your role with your Suger admin. See [Manage Users and Roles](/get-started/account/).

## Create a Certificate

1. Go to **Suger Console**, then **Partners**.
2. Click **Training**, then open the **Certificates** tab.
3. Click **+ New certificate**.

4. Give the certificate a **Name** and **Description**.
5. Set the **Background color**, **Text color**, and **Accent color**. Use the hex input or the color swatch.
6. Optionally add a **Background image URL** and **Logo URL**.

   :::info
   These fields take a hosted image link, not a file upload. Upload your logo to wherever your team hosts images first, then paste the resulting URL here.
   :::

7. Enter **Issued by** — the name or team shown as the issuer on the certificate.
8. Set **Validity**. Options are **No expiry**, **6 months**, **1 year**, **2 years**, or **3 years**.
9. If you set a Validity other than "No expiry," a **Renewal** field appears. Choose:
   - **Manual retake** — the learner renews voluntarily.
   - **Auto re-enroll** — the learner is re-enrolled automatically.
10. Check the **Live Preview** on the right to confirm the certificate looks right.
11. Click **Create**.

1. Go to **Suger Console**, then **Partners**.
2. Click **Training**, then open the **Certificates** tab.
3. Click the pencil or trash icon next to the certificate to update or delete it.

## Assign a Certificate to a Course

Certificates aren't linked to a course automatically — assign them from inside the course builder.

1. Go to **Suger Console**, then **Partners**.
2. Click **Training**, then open the **My courses** tab.
3. Under **Certificate(s) granted on completion**, search for and select the certificate.

For the full course creation process, see [Build a Partner Training Course](/prm/build-a-training-course/).

## Check Who's Certified

This only applies if the course has a certificate attached under **Certificate(s) granted on completion**. If that field is blank, the course doesn't award a certificate. If a certificate is attached:

1. Open the course from **Partners** → **Training** → **My Courses**.
2. Click **Certified** in the top toolbar.
3. Review the list of learners who've earned the certificate, grouped by partner organization.

Each row shows the certificate name, **version** (the course version the learner completed), issue date, expiry date, and status (`Active`).

:::warning
If you republish a course after a learner is already certified, their certificate stays tied to the version they completed — it doesn't update automatically to the new version.
