How to document progress in a way my boss will understand?

Hi there! I work at a large corporation and I'm using treehouse as part of my "training plan" which goes on my quarterly/annual goals. Let me state that I hate that annual review process. But I was wondering if there is a way to get a certificate/document which I can screen capture and put in my annual review paperwork? I'm thinking something like this: I enter a date range and push a button. Then out comes a page which says "In date range x-y student X has successfully completed the following modules..." Whatever that is. Then have a link to that he can click on should he be so inclined. But I need something which is dilbert-boss readable. Does that make sense?

This is sort of already done on your Treehouse profile page (https://teamtreehouse.com/jasonwetzel2).

With not much work you could create a web app that does this for you. Add ".json" to the end of your user profile URL on Treehouse (yours would be https://teamtreehouse.com/jasonwetzel2.json) to retrieve all the badges you have earned. They are already sorted by date, you would just need to add functionality that filters out dates based on the date range specified by the user. This would also show your boss something you created from what you have learned at Treehouse.
