Hi Atticus
The courses that are included in the Recertification path can be picked independently of the primary (original) by choosing add a new set of courses after the Recertfiaction path label.
If you tick the use existing certification content all the courses in the primary path will be added but these can be edited to delete any courses that are not required to complete again.
regards
I am still stumped about this. I am providing some screenshots below to help clarify the issue and see if that might lead to some solutions.
Aside from the correct certification settings - 2 years, 3 month window etc., perhaps the first certification course can be a proxy course, which has its completion settings such that it is completed when the 'real' competency course is completed. This way the competency course remains unmolested by the certification. The proxy course would need to be clearly labelled so that its completion status is ignored on learning transcripts etc.
