The external certifications segment helps you track your training and development activities outside of the LMS. Administrators might assign certain certifications for you to achieve that might involve an external training event. Once you have earned the certification, you can upload it in this section. On approval, you will receive the CPD points allocated and achieve the skills that are mapped to the certification, if any. Additionally, you also have the option to upload any further certifications which you have achieved that are not part of your current Learning Plan. 

Once approved by your Admin or Line Manager it will be added as a valid certificate against your profile.
