Complete all sections, pass the final test, and you will be able to download the certificate.
Note: If you do not have access to the final test, it means you’re not enrolled in the course. If that’s the case, refer to Step 2 above.

Hello, @gloriateixeira22!

Thank you for the heads up! I will include a line about checking the spam folder in the description :slight_smile:
I have checked the Moodle platform, and you don’t appear as registered. Have you enrolled in the course?
Remember that, besides creating the account, it is necessary to enrol in the course (please check the screenshots at the end of the message above).

I hope you give it another shot! Keep us posted :slight_smile:

Enrolled and completed! Got my certificate and now I have loads of material to read :heart: .
The only problem that I found is that there are 2 activities that I completed yet they don’t have their checkmarks, I tried to re-take them but nothing happened, because of that my progress is at 75% althought I already finished every section.

Hi @Nat.gz! I’m glad you liked it, and thanks for flagging that, I’ll take a look :slight_smile:
Do you remember which where the activities that didn’t have a checkmark?
Thanks again!

Hello @Gloria !

I am facing the same issue as @Nat.gz . I finished all activities however, the first one “Introduction to TWB was not checked, and I could not check-mark it by myself. Consequently, I could not do the last quiz, and I am told that I” need to enroll in the course before you can attempt this quiz".

Thoughts?

@Gloria I also had this problem @Nat.gz , I did according to the explanations in my report reports 62% being that I answered all the questions, I acted right? Thanks again for the attention given.

@Maher I am also having the same problem with system that points only 62% full, being answered all.:disappointed_relieved:

Hi @Maher ! Please refer to my answer to @gloriateixeira22 above. In order to obtain the certificate you will need to both create and activate the account AND enrol in the course :slight_smile: . You will find more info and some screenshots in the post itself.

As for the % of completion, it should be fixed now, I changed the course settings. However if you go through all the sections and pass the test, you will be able to download the certificate. If you’ve been able to download the certificate but the % of completion is not 100%, do not worry.

Hope this helps! :smiley:

I have successfully created and activated an account. I have also successfully passed through all the four sessions with 100%, yet I cannot start the test. The response I have been receiving is about the enrollment. I am just confused.
