Build Credential Pathways
Create structured learning pathways that guide earners through a sequence of badges. Define prerequisites and progression so earners can work toward higher-level credentials by completing required badges.
Key Benefits
Structured Progression
Define pathways that guide earners from beginner to advanced credentials. Each step in the pathway builds on the previous one.
Badge Prerequisites
Set requirements for higher-level badges. Earners must complete prerequisite badges before advancing to the next level.
Visual Pathway Map
Earners see their progress through the pathway — which badges they have earned and what remains to complete.
Program Structure
Organize your credentialing program into clear, logical pathways that communicate the learning journey to earners.
How It Works

Define the Pathway
Create a pathway and add your badge templates in sequence. Set which badges are prerequisites for others.
Share the Pathway
Share the pathway with earners so they can see the full progression and start working toward each badge.
Track Progress
Monitor earner progress through the pathway and issue badges as they complete each step.
