Use this practical launch checklist for criteria, learning, evidence, credentials, verification, expiry, privacy and operations.

Launch when the program claim, learner route and operating responsibilities are all testable—not merely when the landing page looks finished.

Program definition

  • Name a specific audience.
  • State the outcome in observable terms.
  • Publish prerequisites.
  • Define each criterion and pass rule.
  • Choose the correct credential type.
  • Record the program version.
  • Remove unsupported accreditation or recognition claims.

Learning and evidence

  • Select Enrolius Learning, no course or the existing-LMS preview route.
  • Review every text, PDF and embed.
  • Test quizzes and feedback.
  • Test the exact SCORM 1.2 beta package if used.
  • Define acceptable external evidence.
  • Create reviewer and exception rules.
  • Keep completion separate from certification where required.

Learner experience

  • Publish a clear public program page.
  • Check mobile and keyboard use.
  • Explain expected effort and support.
  • Test identity and invitation.
  • Make the next action obvious.
  • Review all automated and manual messages.
  • Ensure essential instructions are text, not only images.

Credential and verification

  • Confirm issuer identity.
  • Review credential wording.
  • Set issue and expiry policy.
  • Open the public verification result.
  • Confirm the opaque link works.
  • Minimize public personal data.
  • Define correction, revocation and renewal.
  • Remember that Enrolius verification does not create accreditation.

Operations

  • Assign owners for evidence, approval and support.
  • Test a normal learner.
  • Test an incomplete or disputed case.
  • Test an expired and renewed credential.
  • Run a basic export and reconcile counts.
  • Define data retention and access.
  • Document current product boundaries.

Commercial and integration claims

  • Describe only the payment route that actually exists.
  • Do not promise native QuickBooks or external LMS connectors before release.
  • Label existing-LMS onboarding as preview.
  • Label SCORM 1.2 as beta.
  • Do not promise SCORM 2004.
  • Do not promise advanced bulk-seat commerce in the initial product.
  • Use “Get started free” as the provider CTA.

Use the Free plan as the launch rehearsal

Enrolius Free provides one program and three learner places permanently, without a card or trial deadline. Use the three places for a happy path, an exception and an expiry or verification test.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a technical launch checklist?

It covers the provider-facing operational launch. Security, legal, accessibility and organizational reviews may add requirements.

When should the program expand?

After the first cohort demonstrates consistent decisions, understandable verification and manageable support—not simply after the first enrollment.

Launch with evidence

Start your first certification program free. Create one program and add up to three learners—no credit card and no trial deadline.
