# How to give certifications to partners?

## Keeping track of In progress or Active certifications

When giving certification to a partner team member you can choose whether the certification is *Active* or *Pending*.

**Active**

An active certification is a valid certification that is not expired yet or will not expire. If the certification given to the partner team member is *Active* you have to specify the *Acquisition date.*

The acquisition date is the date when the individual passed the certification and can be a date in the past.

**Pending**

In order to keep track of certifications partner team members are currently working on, but haven't passed yet, you can use the *In progress* status.

You can later edit the certification attribution to change the status and defined the acquisition date when the team members pass it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-vnext.kiflo.com/partner-enablement/certifications/how-to-give-certifications-to-partners.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
