Printing
In addition to printing a certificate immediately after completing the post test and course evaluation, you can now use the Dashboard to print course certificates, the master certificate (once you have completed all 13 of the Core courses) or a transcript showing all of the courses you have completed (including elective and supervision courses, if you have taken them).

Step 3: Click the title of the course. A PDF file is downloaded to your computer. This is the course completion certificate.
Step 4: Open the PDF file on the lower left side of the screen to verify your name, the course title, and number of hours for the course are correct.
