Issuance
Events & Courses
Before you issue credentials, create a programme in the Issue hub. Choose an Event for dated gatherings (conferences, webinars, hackathons) or a Course for learning programmes (bootcamps, certifications, diplomas). After saving, add groups and recipients, then issue credentials.

- 01
Open Issue in your dashboard.
- 02
Use the Events or Courses tab, or create from the All list and pick Event vs Course on the form.
- 03
Fill in the fields for that type and save.
- 04
Open the programme to add groups, recipients, and templates — then issue.
