Automated Certificate Issuance in Just a Few Clicks

Why is issuing certificates such a hassle?

Every training program or educational event ends with one inevitable task — certificate issuance.
You have to verify the participant list, fill in each name and unique ID, generate the document, convert it to PDF, and email each one individually.
When you’re dealing with dozens or even hundreds of participants, this becomes days of grinding, repetitive work.
That’s why so many program managers say, “I wish we just didn’t have to issue certificates.”

A program that handles repetitive issuance for you

Kolleges’ automated certificate issuance program solves this pain point in one shot.
Upload your participant list file (Excel or similar) and the program reads the data automatically.
It then injects each name and certificate number into the document, generating certificates for every participant in a single batch.

No more writing them one by one. Even hundreds of certificates are done in a few clicks.
You also don’t need to verify completion conditions one by one — set the conditions, and certificates are issued automatically.

How does it work?

Automated certificate issuance in Kolleges follows these steps.

1. 1 Create the certificate — First, choose a certificate design or create a new one. Add your institution's logo, signature, issuance date, and other elements to complete the base template.
2. 2 Enter recipient information — Enter the name and email or phone number of each certificate recipient.
3. 3 Add attributes — Beyond name and contact info, you can freely add any additional information as attributes (e.g., course name, score, issuance date).
4. 4 Upload the participant list — If you need to issue certificates to many people at once, download the Excel template, fill it in, and upload it. Dozens or hundreds of recipients can be added in one go.
5. 5 Save and preview — Once you save the entered information, you can move to a preview screen before actual issuance to verify the certificate design and content.
6. 6 Add completion conditions (optional) — Beyond simply displaying a name, you can include the achievements gained through the training in the digital badge. You can also set conditions like attendance rate, assignment submission, or score so the certificate is issued automatically once they are met. With this, the certificate becomes more than paper — it expands into the learner's e-portfolio.
7. 7 Issuance and delivery — Once everything is configured, Kolleges automatically generates the certificates and sends them to recipients via email or KakaoTalk notifications.

Bulk auto-issuance

Certificate issuance usually needs to happen for dozens, sometimes hundreds, of people simultaneously.
With Kolleges, bulk auto-issuance is possible just by uploading a participant list organized in an Excel template.

• Upload the list: Upload the Excel file with the participant list, and hundreds of names are added automatically in one go.

• Save and preview: Verify the certificate content on a preview screen before actual issuance to reduce errors.

Condition-based auto-issuance

Kolleges goes beyond certificates that simply carry a name — it also supports achievement-based certificate issuance.
In other words, you can set certificates to be issued automatically only when conditions like attendance rate, assignment submission, or exam score are met.

• Add achievements: Register various learning achievements as conditions — assignments/papers, projects, attendance, and more.

• Define conditions: Enter detailed condition descriptions and attach supporting URLs if needed.

• Auto-issuance: When conditions are met, the system automatically verifies and issues the certificate.

Customer story: Our Local School Cohort 1

Our Local School Cohort 1 — the first entrepreneurship education program held in the Gyeongbuk region — produced 55 graduates and delivered meaningful results.
The operations team faced a major challenge: providing diverse educational content while managing the completion process and issuing certificates.

After adopting Kolleges, the work of issuing and managing certificates became simple.
Customized certificates were generated and issued automatically just by uploading the participant list, and bulk email delivery and re-issuance management could be handled with one click.
As a result, the operations team was freed from repetitive administrative work and could focus on educational quality and participant support, while participants could preserve their educational experience as something more valuable through branded certificates.
