Build a learning path

Updated November 6, 2026

Group programs and badges into an ordered path, and give it its own completion certificate.

A learning path puts several programs and badges into an ordered set of steps that a member works through.

Create a path

On the Certification page, switch to the Paths tab and press Add beside the title (New on a phone). In the New path form, enter a Title and an optional Description, then press Create. The path opens on its detail page with three tabs: Details, Steps, and Certificate.

Add and order steps

Open the Steps tab and press Add step. A picker opens with two tabs, Programs and Badges, listing everything in your community. Press Add next to each item you want. Items already in the path are marked Added.

Back on the Steps tab, each step shows its position. Use the up and down arrows to reorder them, and the trash icon to remove one. Clicking a step opens that program or badge.

A certificate for the whole path

On the Certificate tab you design one completion certificate for the path itself, for members who finish every step. Press Create template to open the same designer used for programs, or edit the existing one. It works like a program's certificate: background, labels, QR code, then save.

Paths are optional. They help when you run courses that belong together, like a multi-course track. If you only issue single certificates, you can skip them.
