# The certificate for students: a goal they see, a name they confirm, a moment they celebrate > The certificate doesn’t wait for the course to end to appear: the student sees it from day one on their course page, in their name, with what’s left. It becomes a goal to finish for, not a surprise at the end. In this lesson we follow Amina, Mourad’s calligraphy student: she sees her certificate waiting, confirms her name, finishes the last lesson and reads “Congratulations, Amina!”, then adds her certificate to LinkedIn. Understand what your students see so you can explain it in class or in a message. - Time: About 5 minutes - Who can do it: For everyone who creates certificates. What this lesson describes, the student sees in their portal, on phone and computer. - Updated: 2026-10-09 - URL: https://www.dirassaplus.com/en/guide/certificate-student ## In short 1. On the course page: “This course’s certificate” in the student’s name, and what’s left: two lessons, the exam, the papers closing. 2. Before issue: “This is how your name will be written”, once, in Arabic, Latin letters and the right wording. 3. After the last lesson: “Congratulations, Amina!” with PDF, story and sharing. 4. “My certificates”: every certificate, with number, verification link, PDF and LinkedIn, and the “Private certificate” option. ## Before you start - Activate a certificate on a course with students: the goal doesn’t show on the course page before activation. - Try the portal with a test student account if you want to see it with your own eyes. ## The steps ### 1. The certificate as a goal on the course page On the page of every course with an active certificate, the certificate card: its image in the student’s name with the “Your certificate awaits” badge, a heading saying what’s left (or “This course’s certificate” if they haven’t started), and a sentence by mode — “Your certificate will be issued automatically, in your name, as in the image.”, or “Once you meet the conditions, your teacher reviews it and then it’s issued.”, or “Your teacher grants it personally when you finish.”. Below, the conditions with their ticks: lessons (12 of 14), the exam (passed, “Awaiting results”…), the average (a paper awaiting results, “once the papers close”). The heading is the line that matters: “Still to go: …”. The card changes with them: “You’ve met every condition”, “Confirm your name to get your certificate”, “Your certificate is awaiting your teacher’s approval”, then “Your certificate is issued” with “Download the PDF certificate” and “Open my certificate”. On screen: «This course’s certificate»، «Your certificate awaits»، «Awaiting results»، «You’ve met every condition»، «Confirm your name to get your certificate»، «Your certificate is awaiting your teacher’s approval»، «Your certificate is issued»، «Download the PDF certificate»، «Open my certificate» Tip: Mention the certificate in the first class: “Look at the bottom of the course page, your certificate is waiting, in your name”. A visible goal gets courses finished. ### 2. “This is how your name will be written”: once If name confirmation is on, the student sees “This is how your name will be written” (“Just once. After issue, only your teacher can correct it.”): “Name in Arabic”, “Name in Latin letters” already written by Noqta (with “No” if they want another), and the wording: “Feminine · She completed” or “Masculine · He completed”. The card warns them if they type a single word, all capitals, or Arabic letters in the Latin box. Then “Confirm the name and issue my certificate”. They’re asked once: later certificates reuse the same name. On screen: «This is how your name will be written»، «Name in Arabic»، «Name in Latin letters»، «No»، «Feminine · She completed»، «Masculine · He completed»، «Confirm the name and issue my certificate» Tip: Keep name confirmation on: most certificate mistakes are names, and fixing them before issue is easier than reissuing. ### 3. The completion moment After the last lesson, if the certificate is issued, the “Congratulations, …!” moment appears: “You completed “Arabic calligraphy””, with a line on what she achieved — lessons, and the exam with her mark. If their name still awaits confirmation, “This is how your name will be written” opens first, then the moment. Then “Download the PDF certificate”, “Story” (a vertical image for the phone’s status) and “Share”. If it awaits your approval or the papers closing, there’s no moment now: a notification arrives when it’s issued, and the course card turns to “Your certificate is issued”. On screen: «Download the PDF certificate»، «Story»، «Share» Tip: Every share carries the verification link on your academy’s domain: a published certificate is an honest ad for your course. ### 4. “My certificates” In the portal, “My certificates”: a summary, and for each certificate “Download PDF” and “Share link”, or its state: “Awaiting your name confirmation”, “Awaiting your teacher’s approval”. A certificate’s page: “Certificate number”, “Verification link”, “Printable PDF · A4”, “Image to post”, “Story” and “Add to LinkedIn”. And the “Private certificate” switch: anyone verifying it sees that it’s issued and valid, without their name or its details. When the student opens the verification page signed in, they read “This is your certificate”. On screen: «My certificates»، «Download PDF»، «Share link»، «Awaiting your name confirmation»، «Awaiting your teacher’s approval»، «Certificate number»، «Verification link»، «Image to post»، «Story»، «Add to LinkedIn»، «Private certificate»، «This is your certificate» Tip: Professional training? Remind students of “Add to LinkedIn”: every addition names your academy and links to the verification page. ## Next - Follow those getting close: “On the way” and what each one lacks: the lesson “Issuing and following up”. - A fair condition: A weighted average instead of one paper: the lesson “When the certificate is granted”. - Release results: An average-based certificate waits for results to be released: the lesson “Grading and results”. ## Questions **The student doesn’t see the certificate in their course** Check that the certificate is active and its source is this course (or their group). A draft doesn’t show to students. **The student confirmed a wrong name** After issue only the teacher corrects it: “Register” → “Correct the name” → “Save and reissue”. **The student has no Latin name** Noqta suggests the usual Algerian spelling; they can change it or leave it empty. Empty, the Latin name isn’t printed. **Why does the student read that it waits for the papers to close?** Their certificate prints the rank, which is only counted once every counted paper is closed. Close them from each paper’s page. **Does the student need an app?** No: everything is in your academy’s portal, on phone and computer. If they install it as an app, notifications reach them.
