In the LMS, some Learners have the ability to create self-awarded certifications.  A Learner's direct appraiser can approve, deny, cancel or delete these certifications.

Self-awarded certifications that have been approved are displayed and available in the same way that all other certification types are in the system.

You must have unrestricted access to the Certification Approval feature in System Roles (Review Features Review Features) to approve, deny, cancel and delete self-awarded certifications pending approval.

To review pending certification approvals

1. Go to Home > Workspace > Certification Approval. The Certification Approval page opens with a list of your direct appraisees with pending approvals.
2. Click a participant's name. The Self-award Certification Approval page opens.
3. Select one of the following options from the Status drop-down list:
   
   - Approved
   - Approval Denied
   - Cancelled
    
4. To save the certification's new status, click Update. Alternatively, to delete the learner's certification entirely, click Delete.
    

Cancelled certifications are still shown in the Certifications Review page while deleted certifications are not.
