How to Assign a Minimum Score for Learners to Complete a Course

In ProProfs Training Maker, you can set a minimum passing score that learners must achieve on quizzes before they can complete the course. This ensures learners actually absorb the content—especially important for compliance, certification, or high-stakes internal training.

This feature is especially useful if:

• You need to prevent learners from skipping ahead without understanding the material

• Your course is part of a regulatory or legal training requirement

• You want to certify learners only after they meet a standard level of understanding

Steps to Set a Minimum Score

Step 1: Go to Course Settings > Advance. 

Step 2: Locate the "Quizzes Mandatory" option and enable it. An overlay will open.

Step 3: In the "Manage Score" overlay, select the minimum score learners must achieve in the tests/quizzes within your course to move ahead in the course.

Step 4: Save your changes.

Common Ways Teams Use This Setting

• HR teams use this feature for onboarding compliance, requiring a minimum score before granting access to internal systems.

• Managers use it to ensure team members understand SOPs or product knowledge before certification.

• Training admins set scores to measure readiness across regions or departments, especially in multilingual or multi-location rollouts.

FAQs

Can I set different passing scores for different quizzes?
Not at the course level. The minimum score you set here applies across all quizzes in the course. For varied scores, consider structuring separate modules with individual completion logic.

What happens if a learner fails to meet the minimum score?
They’ll be asked to retake the quiz if reattempts are enabled in your course settings. If not, the course will remain incomplete.

Does this affect certificate generation?
Yes. Learners must meet the minimum score to qualify for auto-generated completion certificates.

Can I track who didn’t meet the required score?
Yes. Use the Reports tab to view quiz performance by learner and filter based on completion status or score.

Is there a way to combine the minimum score with time-based progress?
Yes. In addition to this setting, you can set the minimum time on the page or the time to complete the course for added control.
