Trainees see their own skills in the Skills menu and on the My Skills tile of their dashboard.
- Skills for your role: each skill the role needs, the trainee’s achieved level, the required level and status (Done, n levels to go, or Not achieved yet), with an overall “n of m skills done”.
- In progress: if a course teaching the skill is under way, a link opens it.
- Your additional skills: skills achieved outside the role’s requirements.
Trainees earn skills when they complete a course, assignment or Learning Object with skills attached, or when an admin assigns them. An email is sent when a new skill is earned.
Show or Hide Skills for Trainees
Control whether trainees can see the Skills menu, page and dashboard tile at all.
Go to Settings → Manage Features → Trainee Features → Skills.
Turn the switch off to hide the Skills menu, page and dashboard tile from trainees. The Skills menu only appears for trainees who have at least one required or achieved skill.
