In the screenshot below there are four training steps, each containing a SCORM package and a test. In case you want the candidate to be granted a certificate only if they successfully complete all the steps, you need to attach the certificate to the final test. To learn how to add a certificate to the test, refer to this article.
Candidate’s Perspective
- When the candidate starts the training, they will first need to launch the SCORM module. They won’t be able to fast-forward or skip through it. To access the SCORM package, the candidate needs to click the eye icon.
Then, they need to click the play button.
After that, they will take a knowledge check to test what they have learned. Only if they pass the test will they be allowed to proceed to the next step, which follows the same principle. Once they successfully complete all the tests, they will receive a certificate attached to the final test in the final training step.
