SIS enrolments, certificates, and Canvas Catalog

From: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Catalog/How-do-I-add-a-certificate-of-completion-for-a-Cat... 

"If an admin manually enrolls a user in a Catalog program, the user will not receive a certificate upon completion of the program. To ensure users receive certificates of completion, have them self-enroll."

Leveraging the ability for Catalog users to see their Canvas enrolments within Catalog dashboard, and the fact that some users for a course will be internal (which we can force enrolment into the underlying Canvas course via integration) - and external (which we can't), I'm trying to come up with a Certificate Solution that covers all.

If the enrolments is through SIS/integration: there is no certificates, make other arrangements**.
if the enrolments is in any way manual ... there is no certificates, make other arrangements**.
if the enrolments are via Catalog as self-enrol, they can be issued certificates (provided they meet completion criteria).

Is this correct?

** To be determined.

@BarryBEATTIE Yes this sounds accurate.

@BarryBEATTIE The completion needs to be set up by requirements to get a certificate of completion: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-requirements-to-a-module/ta-p/1131
