Skills Knowledge Check

Ensure skills on your platform are achieved through verified assessments.

What is a Skills Knowledge Check?

A Skills Knowledge Check is a verification step learners must complete when they mark a skill as "Achieved." Instead of self-declaring, learners must explain how they attained the skill, which is then reviewed by their manager.

This helps ensure that skill achievements are evidence-based and reviewable. 

Set up a Skills Knowledge Check

A Knowledge Check must first be created in order for it to be used. Without setting up a Knowledge Check, learners will be able to self-declare a skill as "Achieved". 

Only admins have the ability to create and manage Knowledge Checks.

How to create a Knowledge Check

1. Go to Administration > Knowledge Checks.

2. Click Add to create a new check.

3. Define:

   • Name of the Knowledge Check

   • Check Types (“Text Entry” selected by default)

   • Applicable Skills:

     • All Skills

     • All Skills Except... (Select skills to exclude from the Knowledge Check)

     • Only Selected Skills... (Select skills to be included for the Knowledge Check)

4. Click Save, and the check will be added to the list of Knowledge Checks on your platform.

Managing Knowledge Checks

Knowledge Checks can be managed by admin user from within Administration > Knowledge Checks. To edit or deactivate a Knowledge Check, simply hover on the Knowledge check and select the right facing arrow that displays to be taken to the Edit Knowledge Check page.

• Edit a check anytime without affecting pending or reviewed submissions.

• Deactivate checks using the Deactivate button at the bottom of the edit page.

  • Deactivated checks will appear in a separate Inactive Checks table.
