Policy Acknowledgements

Policy acknowledgements with a real audit trail.

When you hand someone a policy, you need proof they actually acknowledged it — not a hope that they read the email. IQEducate captures that with attestation blocks inside a course. The learner reads the policy and explicitly attests to it, and that acknowledgement is recorded as part of their completion. It turns a document you sent into a documented sign-off you can stand behind.

Acknowledgements don't sit alone. They live inside courses and programs alongside quizzes and checklists, so you can confirm both agreement and understanding in the same flow. Completion records, timestamps, and an audit log of administrative actions form a trail that shows what was acknowledged, by whom, and when — the kind of record that holds up in a review.

Attestation blocks

An attestation block presents policy content and requires the learner to explicitly acknowledge it before moving on. It's a first-class block type, so you can drop it into any course exactly where the policy belongs.

The audit trail

Acknowledgements are backed by completion records with timestamps, and administrative actions are captured in an audit log. Together they answer the questions a reviewer asks: what was acknowledged, who acknowledged it, and when.

Reporting and renewal

You can report on completion to see who has and hasn't acknowledged a policy, and export the results to CSV. When policies change or need periodic re-acknowledgement, recurring assignment rules can require people to attest again on a schedule.

Frequently asked questions

How does a learner acknowledge a policy?

Through an attestation block inside a course. The learner reads the policy and explicitly attests to it, and that acknowledgement is recorded as part of their completion.

What proof is kept?

Completion records with timestamps capture the acknowledgement, and an audit log records administrative actions, so you can show what was acknowledged, by whom, and when.

Can I confirm understanding, not just agreement?

Yes. Attestation blocks sit alongside checklists and quizzes in the same course, so you can require a policy sign-off and verify comprehension together.

Can I make people re-acknowledge a policy periodically?

Yes. Recurring assignment rules can require re-acknowledgement on a schedule — from custom day intervals through yearly — which is useful when policies are updated.

Can I see who hasn't acknowledged a policy yet?

Yes. Completion and overdue reporting show who has and hasn't attested, and you can filter the results and export them to CSV.
