Fixed Period recertification example

The following sample illustrates how the Base Due Date defines a recursive cycle of recertification due dates based on the defined fixed date. Consider the following recertification settings in a learning journey.

The Certification Rules and Recertification Rules sections with Fixed Period method and a 1 year recertification period

With a Base Due Date starting on 01 Nov 2010, the following provides an example of a time line of the Base Due Dates that this Fixed Period recertification rule will be for a user who becomes a member of this learning journey on June 1 2011. The user would be required to certify on or before 01 July 2011, 30 days after membership. If this user then completed his initial certification on 30 June 2011, their next due date (recertification due date) would be 01 Nov 2011:

Fixed Base Due Date (Current Due Date)Reactivation DateRequired Mastery RangeNext Fixed Due DateDescription
01 July 2011 (30 days after membership)01 Aug 2011 (60 days before Due Date)01 Aug 2010 01 Aug 201101 Nov 2011 (1 year after Base Due Date)This is the first base period that any existing users would begin their recertification, if they became a member of this learning journey any time between 01 Aug 2010 and 01 Aug 2011
With a current due date of 01 Nov 2011, this user must recertify on or after 01 Aug 2011 (current Fixed Period Reactivation Date) and before 01 Aug 2012 (next Fixed Period Reactivation Date). If this user then completed his recertification on 28 October 2011, their next due date (Fixed Period Recertification Due Date) would be 01 Nov 2012:
Fixed Base Due Date (Current Due Date)Reactivation DateRequired Mastery RangeNext Fixed Due DateDescription
01 Nov 2011 (1 year after Base Due Date)01 Aug 2011 (60 days before current Due Date)

01 Aug 2011

01 Aug 2012

01 Nov 2012 (1 year after Current Due Date)This is the second base period calculated based on a user completing recertification anytime within the Required Mastery Range

Required Mastery Range is defined as any date that falls between the Current Reactivation Date for one base period and the Reactivation Date for the Next Fixed Base Due Date

Consider the following learning journey Certification settings:

The Certification Rules and Recertification Rules sections with Fixed Period method and a 60-day recertification period

The following table provides a timeline for a new student user who becomes a member of this learning journey Certification for the first time on 08 Feb 2011:
