Setting up a Certification Program
The process for setting up an Application Program, Certification Program, and Re-certification Program is the same. After you add the basic program information, the Program Profile will contain all of the relevant information, including the program code, program description, designation earned after completing the program, and certification term.
The Program Profile child form tabs allow you to add Fees, Notes, and associate Exam Events and Course Sessions with the program. You can also Enroll Customers into a program from the Program Profile.
