New: Automated elearning certificates are here!

We’re excited to announce an enhancement to Arlo’s certification capability. You can now automatically send certificates when learners complete courses that include elearning modules, or standalone elearning content.

This extension of the popular Automated Certificates ensures a consistently professional experience for your customers, regardless if they’re attending a live instructor-led session, completing a blended course, or progressing through self-paced elearning.

What’s new?

Arlo’s automated certification now applies across every training format — instructor-led, blended, and self-paced elearning. Certificates are issued automatically once learners meet your chosen completion criteria, giving you full confidence every achievement is recognized and recorded without manual work.

You can now use elearning module or course completion as a trigger for certificate delivery, extending the same automation already available for attendance or payment confirmation in instructor-led courses. This flexibility means you can automate certification across your entire training catalogue, no matter how your courses are delivered.

Choose whether certificates are sent when learners complete all modules within a course, or specific ones, such as a final graded quiz or knowledge check. For multi-module courses, certificates can be issued automatically when learners pass the final assessment, using our Quiz Grading features to verify understanding, retention, and results.

Every certificate is branded to your organization, stored against the learner’s record for future reference, and accessible anytime through your branded Customer Portal, making it super easy to download proof of completion whenever it’s needed.

Recognize success with smarter workflows

This new automation unlocks measurable benefits for both learners and administrators:

  • Instant recognition for learners, reinforcing engagement and motivation with timely acknowledgment of achievement.
  • Automated certificate delivery eliminates manual validation and reduces administration time.
  • Every learner who meets completion criteria is certified, supporting CPD and regulated training requirements.
  • A seamless learner journey that reflects a high-quality, modern training experience across every delivery format.
  • Confidence for instructors and administrators that learner achievement is accurately recorded without post-session follow-up.

This enhancement also works hand in hand with Arlo’s recent Elearning Availability & Completion Controls release. Together, they give training providers full control over when modules become available and how completion is tracked, ensuring certificates are only issued once learners have genuinely completed the required content.
