Customize certificates in Zoho ShowTime

Certification can be used to incentivize learner participation and success. Awarding a learner a certificate when they successfully complete a training gives them a tangible reward that can be used to promote your trainings. Zoho ShowTime makes it easy to import and customize certificates that can be awarded to attendees once they attend a training. This certificate can be printed and download helping them progress through the sessions with a sense of achievement.

Note: This feature is available under ShowTime's professional and enterprise plans.
