E-certificates

AIM offers e-certification for some qualifications, where learner’s certificates of achievement can be downloaded directly from Quartz Portal.

To download e-certificates: 

  • Click ‘Actions’, then ‘Your Runs’ 
  • Find the relevant run and select the Run ID 
  • Select the relevant learners for e-certification in the learner registration menu, using the tick boxes to the left 
  • Expand the e-certificate menu  
  • Enter and make note of encryption password of your choice. (This is not set by AIM) 
  • A ‘zip’ file will be created containing all the certificates you’ve requested (encrypted with the password you’ve chosen). NB: Your browser will prompt you to save the file. 

You can then print the certificate or send it electronically to the learner.
