About this template

Training that ends without a check gets forgotten within a month. This template turns course completion into a real credential: a question bank per module, a stated pass mark and time limit, automatic scoring, and a named completion certificate for everyone who clears the bar. The AI report summarizes the cohort — pass rates, weak topics and retake patterns — so the next training round starts from what people actually missed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What score should count as certified?
Match the stakes: safety and compliance credentials usually pass at 80% or higher, tool training can sit near 70% — and always state the pass mark on the exam itself.
How is a certification exam different from a job skills test?
A skills test screens people before or at hiring; a certification exam validates training afterwards and carries a named completion certificate.
And versus the new-hire onboarding quiz?
The onboarding quiz is a light same-day check-in with attendance tracking. Certification is a formal scored attempt with a credential on the line.
Are the certificates verifiable?
Each certificate carries learner name, date, course and result; the response log stays in FormLM so any copy can be confirmed later.
Can people retake a failed attempt?
Yes — set a waiting period and retake limit in the exam description so certification keeps its meaning.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and load your own question bank.
