Can I issue digital certificates & badges for individual courses?

Yes. Wauld lets you issue credentials at any level, whether that is a full degree program, an individual course, or a single learning module. Faculty can set up automated issuance so students receive their credential the moment they complete the requirement, no manual processing needed.
