Create Certification Programs Online
Build credible certifications with assessed competency, not just course completion
Design certification programs with structured curriculum, competency assessments, exercise submissions, and completion tracking. Award credentials that mean something — backed by demonstrated skill, not just hours watched.
Why This Matters
Issuing a certificate for watching videos doesn't create a credible credential. Real certification requires assessed competency — observed practice, submitted case studies, evaluated demonstrations. Most course platforms give you a completion certificate at best. You need a platform that supports the full certification workflow: structured learning, assessed exercises, and tracked completion.
What You Get
Everything included in Ruzuku's certification builder
Competency-Based Assessment
Create exercises that assess specific skills — case studies, practice demonstrations, written analyses, recorded sessions. Review submissions and provide detailed feedback before certifying.
Multi-Level Program Structure
Design tiered programs: foundational knowledge, supervised practice, independent demonstration. Each level can be a separate course or a gated section within one program.
Completion Tracking & Reporting
Track exactly who has completed which modules, submitted which assessments, and achieved which milestones. Generate completion reports for accreditation documentation.
Cohort-Based Delivery
Run certification cohorts with scheduled content release, live sessions, and peer learning. Cohort progression keeps participants moving together through the assessment pipeline.
Get Started in 5 Simple Steps
Define your competency standards
Identify the specific skills someone must demonstrate to earn your certification. These become the assessment criteria for your exercises.
Build your curriculum
Create the learning pathway: knowledge modules, practice exercises, and assessment milestones. Structure them into levels if your certification has tiers.
Create assessments
Add exercises that require demonstrated competency — case studies, practice recordings, portfolio submissions, or written evaluations. Set clear rubrics for evaluation.
Run your certification cohort
Enroll participants, facilitate live sessions, review assessment submissions, and track completion. Award your credential to those who meet the standard.

Certification programs are premium-priced ($1,500-$5,000+). On Ruzuku, you keep what you charge.
Completion Documentation
Track and verify who completed what. Useful for accreditation applications and organizational reporting.
“I've certified more than 800 Story Coaches. The ability to have students submit their work and get personal feedback — that's what makes the certification credible.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ruzuku generate certificates automatically?
On the Pro plan, yes — Ruzuku generates a completion certificate automatically when a student finishes the course, branded and customizable per course. Free and Core track completion and exercise submissions but do not issue certificates, so some creators on those plans design their own and send them manually after reviewing the work.
Can I use Ruzuku for accredited CE programs?
Yes. Ruzuku's completion tracking and exercise submission features support the documentation requirements of CE accrediting bodies. Kay Adams runs NBCC-approved CE courses on Ruzuku, and Laura Lomax teaches accredited CE courses for law enforcement and attorneys.
How many participants can I have in a certification cohort?
There's no platform limit on cohort size. Most successful certification programs run cohorts of 10-25 participants for quality, but the platform supports any number.
Can I run multiple certification levels?
Yes. Create separate courses for each level (foundational, advanced, master) or use modules within a single course. Many creators structure a tiered pathway where completion of one level unlocks access to the next.
