Courses and Skills
What is a Course?
- A course is a group of one or more skills
- Courses contain conceptual and practical skills that learners can apply to on-the-job situations or IT certification exams
- Courses you are in the process of completing or have completed appear in your Enrollments from your dashboard
- You will earn a Certificate of Completion for each course you complete, Certificates of Completion can be found on the corresponding Course Page where they can be downloaded and in your Profile page
What is a Skill?
- A skill is a particular learning objective that is part of a larger course
- A skill may be practical (e.g., something you can do) or it may be conceptual (e.g., something you know)
- A typical skill will contain between 5 to 7 videos and can be completed in around an hour
- A skill may be reused in multiple courses; when you complete a skill in one course, your progress will be reflected in other courses where that skill appears
- Completion of a skill will not generate a certificate of completion
- Skills can be added to your Favorites by clicking the heart icon on the Skill page, allowing you to quickly review a specific concept as needed in the future
