What is a certification due date?
If a learner starts a course aligned to an open badge, they have the option to set an exam due date to help them stay on track. A certification due date is the date that a learner wants to be ready to take their certification exam.
We have experimented with this feature as a way to boost motivation for Udemy learners and saw an increase in week-over-week retention and learning days.
Where is this feature available?
For all learners on web, Android, and iOS within:
- A course aligned to an open badge
- Open badge detail pages
Can admins switch it off?
We are encouraging all customers to keep the certification due date feature turned on at this time, as we have seen positive learner engagement results across global organizations through the experiments we’ve run.
If you would still like to disable the certification due date feature, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
Feedback is always welcome! So if you have any that you’d like to provide to help us improve the feature, please let your Customer Success Manager know.
