| Badge type | Description | How it's calculated |
|---|---|---|
| Explorer | Highlights key experiences you've interacted with on the Skills platform. | Calculated based on interactions with particular experiences such as first video, interests, path, etc. in the Skills platform. |
| Completion achievements | Awarded for each video course or lab you complete. | Calculated based on whether each clip in a video course has been viewed or a lab is 100% complete. Click a completion badge to see recommendations based on that completed course or lab. Note: Completion badges will not appear for courses that are exclusive to an account or company. |
| Tech Foundations | Technical literacy in key technologies | If your plan includes Tech Foundations (TF), you’ll also see TF-specific badges in your Trophy case. Check out our Tech Foundations article to learn more about these important technology topics. |
| View time | Time viewed learning on Skills. | Calculated based on the amount of time spent watching course content. For example, if you watch all of a five-minute video, five minutes is added to your total badge progress. Watching at a faster or slower speed doesn't change the total view time. Re-watching counts toward your view time total. Note: You must sync your offline mobile data in order for your view time to count. |
| Limited edition badges | Only available to earn for a limited time. | Calculation varies by badge, but these awards are time-driven and challenge you to complete a task before a certain date. Check back often to see what you can earn next. |
| Learning streaks | Learning back-to-back on Skills. | Calculated based on consecutive days, weeks, or months of activity. A week runs Monday to Sunday. A streak includes watching video courses, completing Skill IQs, and working on projects (first time only). A streak is counted for each unique pair of days, weeks, or months. Learning two days in a row equals one time achieving a two-day streak. If you learn on three consecutive days/months, then only a single back-to-back badge is awarded. The middle day/month can only be used in combination with the first day/month or the third day/month, but not both. You would need to learn for one more consecutive day/month to obtain a second back-to-back badge. Example: You learn from January to March. Because February can only be counted once in a pair, January to February counts toward your learning streak badge progress, but February to March doesn’t. You would need to learn in April to earn a second streak. |
| Weekly goals* | Setting and hitting your weekly view time goals. | Calculated based on the times you set on your goal-setting profile. Every week you achieve your view time goal will count one time toward your total yearly goals. |
| Expand your exploration | Challenges you to explore more of the Skills platform through Skill IQs. | Calculated based on number of Skill IQs taken, number of Skill IQ retakes, or number of Skill IQs taken with the Beta tag. |
*Goal setting is not available to all plan types.
