Focus on a Feature:
AutismPro Workshops Certificate
If
you're a user of AutismPro Workshops, sooner or later you will want to
see a summary of your progress. Fortunately, there is an easy way to do
this.
At the top of the Workshops home screen, you will see
a link called "Certificate" on the dashboard panel. By clicking the
"Certificate" link, you can get a printable certificate (in PDF format)
listing the courses you've completed and the associated number of course hours for each. However, keep in mind that the
certificate only shows courses once all included workshops have been completed. Partially completed courses are not shown.
