Check completion

Make sure the course is marked complete before you send anything.

Fix the details first

Ask how their name should appear and correct it before re-issuing.

Say what it is for

If employers check certificates, explain how they can verify yours.

Note the change

Questions

How many re-issues are fine?

Most schools allow it freely. Set a limit only if abuse becomes a problem.

What if the course is not complete?

Explain what is left and link the lesson where they stopped.

Can this be automated?

The download link can be. Name corrections usually need a person.
