Can I include more than one instructor on the certificate?

Yes. You can include up to two instructor names.

 

---

Can the instructor’s signature appear on the certificate?

Yes. You can:

After downloading the ZIP file on your computer, double-click on the ZIP file. It will open like a regular file so you can access and print the certificates inside. Most devices handle ZIP files automatically. If you device does not open automatically, you may want to right-click on the download and press “extract all” or “open.”

---

Do I need to print the certificate before or after the belt testing/belt promotion?

You have the flexibility to do either before or after belt testing. If you want to print before the test, you would select “next rank” assuming that they have passed and will be promoted. If you have updated the new rank on their profile first and then want to create a certificate for them, you would select “current rank”.

 

---

Can I have the date of promotion on the certificate?

Can I use my phone for this?
