Generating a certificate without having an LMS

Hi Inita and welcome to the community!

If all you need is a certificate document that people can save to their computer or print when they complete a course, there are two easy ways to do that in Storyline 360.

• On the Results slide for your course quiz, just add a Print button and then design the slide to look like a certificate.
• You can also now add a Print Slide trigger to any slide in your course. So simply design your final slide to look like a certificate, add a button with the Print Slide trigger, and your learners will be able to print that slide as proof of course completion. And if you want the certificate to add their name, this short tutorial can show you a quick way to do that.

In Rise 360, though, there's not an automatic way to print course results or a certificate. A good alternative option is to build the printable certificate in Storyline 360 and then embed it in your Rise 360 course using the Storyline block.

Related to your question, you mentioned hosting your courses on our site. Unfortunately, we don't currently offer permanent course hosting for content created in Rise 360 or Storyline 360.  If you don't have an LMS, you can always use the Publish for Web Distribution option to get your course ready to host on a website. This article has the details for publishing for the web and how to host your content on websites.

And if you're looking for other hosting options, you may also want to check out one of our other products: Rise. It's an all-in-one solution for building, hosting, and tracking training content.

Bianca, 

You are amazing. This was exactly what I was looking for. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind showing me how to add the name at the beginning of the course and inserting the reference like you did in this video. I am a visual learner and this made so much more sense through your short tutorial. 

Bianca, 

You are a life saver! Thank you so much. I still have a lot to learn, but this really helped!
