Purpose
This article informs Allbound partner users how to use the Certifications feature in the portal.
Introduction
Certifications are attached to Learning Tracks within the portal.
Certifications Use Cases
The goal of Certifications is to certify portal users based on specific skills. Your parent company creates Learning Tracks, you complete a Learning Track and then take it's (if applicable,) associated quiz. You can share the Certification to your LinkedIn page directly from the portal.
