# Assign Certification to Employee

:lock: Certification.**AssignEmployees**

## Overview

This operation assigns **Certifications** to the selected **Employee**.

## Preconditions

* The **Employees** are Active and do not have currently other manager assigned.

## Sequence of Steps

To assign one or more **Certifications** to a specific **Employee**, open the page of the **Employee**, navigate to the **Certifications** section of the page and press the *Assign* button.

### Step 1: Details

1. Select the **Certifications** that should be assigned by using the :material-plus: button or remove them by using the :material-trash-can: button.
2. A planned date can be defined if the **Certification** will be achieved at a point in the future and the state should be Assigned.
3. If the **Employee** already has the **Certification**, the state can be set to Active by setting the **Granted** flag. This will set the Certification Date to the present date and time. You can also do this directly by using the [[user-guide-grant-employeescertification]] operation.
4. You can set the **Employee** as a **Trainer** or **Trainee**.
5. The validity date is determined by the **Certification** validation date. However, if the **Employee** is set as **Trainee** the validation date is determined by: `Certification Date + Training Maximum Duration`.
6. Optionally enter a remark for the assignment.
7. Select the **Assign** button to complete the operation.
