How to Create a Competency

To create a competency, following the steps below.

Step 1: Log in

Login to your program and navigate to the Competencies admin page.

Note: adding and editing competencies is restricted to program admins. Program staff have read-only access.

Step 2: "Add New Competency"

Click the "Add New Competency" button at the top of the page and enter the competency's name.

Step 3: Enter remaining details

On the competency edit page, under the General Settings tab, enter a brief description of the competency. For level-up assessment settings, if you choose to "add your own prompts" you will be able to add custom questions for learners to respond to during the level-up process. If you leave this option unchecked, the following default prompt will be provided:

"What are some specific examples of skills you have gained or ways you have grown in this dimension? How will this help you in your future career?"

To edit a competency after it was created, click the "Edit Competency Info" button under the "Info" tab on that competency's page. 

Step 4: Add dimensions (optional)

If your program uses dimensions, information is provided in this article: How to Create a Dimension.

Step 5: Publish when you're ready

Once you are satisfied with the details of the competency, publish it so it will be visible to learners.
