Hi learning experts.

i’ve got a user who needs a certificate that displays the average time for a course in the following format: “Average completion time: n minutes”. I thought this would be a slam-dunk, but it is frustratingly unobvious & possibly impossible.

I can get “15:00” showing as the average completion time using the [medium_time] tag, even though it’s set up on the system as “00:15”. i can get just the minutes from the actual time, but we don’t want to use actual time, otherwise some folks will be showing days if they started a training & just left the tab open on their computer or whatever.

but does anyone know if there is actually a way to get “Average completion time: 15 minutes”?

Best I can think of would be to create a “course additional field” where you can indicate the time written in whatever format you need and then bring that into your certificate. All course additional fields are available for your certs.

Ah, of course, thanks ​@lrnlab!

Honestly i should have thought of this, i’ve done the same thing with other fields i needed on the certificates before.
