Creating an Interim Certificate Product

Overview

Because the data model already exists for defining a 'product' and the 'competencies' contained within it, we re-use the Product and Product Competency objects when creating our templates for Interim Certificates.

The product created for an Interim Certificate must not have a value in any pricebook. It will also never be a course or have attendees related to it.
Interim Certificate products are for templating the certificates only. If students need to be able to enrol in a Skill-Set or subset of competencies in order to be delivered those units in a stand-alone course, a new training product needs to be created for this purpose, the Interim Certificate product cannot be used.

Creating the Product Competencies

The final step is to select the units of competency that will be contained within the Interim Certificate.
Navigate to the 'related' tab of the product record and find the 'Product Competencies' list. From this list select the 'New' button.

In the pop-up modal that appears, search for and select the 'Competency' you wish to add, then hit 'Save'

Repeat this process for all units of competency required by this Interim Certificate product.
