Sometimes, being considered proficient in a role requires having a specified number of credits within a predetermined time frame. In the Learning solution, you can set up types of credits, and then create rules that determine success for those credit types.
Specifically, you can create types of credits, and associate them with a course, an ILT or a job, in a way that someone would know that a number of specific credits should be acquired within a period of time. Moreover, you have the option to create lifetime credits that do not expire.
Example:
SEO Expert is a credit type. You can specify that a Unit manager who wants to be an SEO Expert should have ten credits by the end of the year and that they can acquire them by taking courses of a specific category in your academy. To do so, you should associate each course with the relevant amount of credits and types of credits that it should have.
There are two types of credits: the uploadable and the non-uploadable ones. The uploadable credits can be awarded to a user for uploading an external certificate. The non-uploadable credits can only be awarded for completing your training in the Learning solution. Before you are able to award these credits you have to set them up.
Navigation: UKG Learning > Academy Workspace > Settings > Training
Here, you will find the options for the Training Manager, including credits. Expand the Training Credits setting and turn the toggle on or off. Additionally, you can decide if you want the credits to be visible on the users' certificates when they complete a course that is connected to a type of credits.
As a next step, you will need to create Credit Types and connect these types to your Credit Rules.
Once you have set up your credits, you can connect them with courses and events, so that the users of your Academy will be awarded their needed credits.
See the Assign Credits to a Course help topic.
Note:
Credits are not awarded retroactively. When credits have been applied and a change is later made to them, the received credits cannot be updated to align with the new change.
