Actually, I am from the CSOD platform and we have a setup like this:

  1. One learning path contains 10 short courses.
  2. After completing all 10 courses, it will bring learner to an examination with 20 Multiple Choices.
  3. If the learner can pass the exam with 80%, he will be certified. However, if he cannot pass, he needs to have a lockout period for 48 hours, another attempt will be given.

When I tried in Docebo, all tests are now at the course level. The certification is based on the completion of courses. Can we create a test or an exam for the certification level? Thanks a lot. Even the learning path level should be good for me. 

@wlui you can create an 11th course, name it “Certification” and put your test there as a training material. In the test settings you can configure that there is a maximum of 1 attempt, and then you will be able to add a lockout period of 48 hours.

Then you add this course to the Learning Plan and set all other courses as prerequisites for the Certification course.

This should provide you the desired behavior.

 

PS To avoid the situation that people may going directly to the certification course (not through the learning plan) you should only add the learning plan to a catalog, and keep the Certification course only available through the learning plan (course not added to a catalog).

@alekwo - GREAT suggestion!!!… 

Follow Up Question: since we can’t permission courses, only the catalogs that they are in, how do you add a course to the end of a learning plan and NOT have it in a catalog that is visible to the learner? 

If it is true that adding a course to a learning plan ONLY and not a catalog still makes it visible to the learners, then I am WILDLY excited as this opens up a whole new world for us and we can finally start utilizing Learning Plans

 

We don’t right now because we don’t want all of the courses (each with a pre-requisite) to show up in the ‘My Learning Activity to Continue” Channel and have them be locked, but with no immediate reason as to why. We feature the “My Learning Activity to Continue” on the home page of our LMS as a means to have our learners continue what they started. 

@TaviaRitteradding a course to a learning plan and catalog are independent actions.

You can add a course only to a learning plan, and don’t have to add it to any catalogs. When that learning plan is in a catalog, users having access to that catalog, will be able to enroll in the Learning Plan and through the plan will also access the course. 

However, to your point, yes, unless all prerequisites are completed, the certification course will be having a lock on the My Learning page.

 

We are using that approach for our product certification path, where the more advanced certificates and only be taken after getting certified on the lower level. We use a learning plan to enforce the order and prerequisites (as in Docebo there are not course prerequisites as such), and certification courses are not part of any catalog.
