How it works in class

How your students earn their credential

Four steps — from verification rights to the finished microcredential on the website and in the app.

1

Get verification rights

As an educator you get the right to confirm the learning objectives your students reach.

2

Build in microcredentials

Build any microcredentials into your lessons — the matching curriculum comes automatically, e.g. as a PDF.

3

Confirm skills

When a student reaches a learning objective, you confirm their skills with one click.

4

Receive the credential

Your students receive their microcredentials directly on the website or in the app — free.

What lies behind it

A credential is a slice of a larger skill tree.

Skills live in a shared SkillTree, and the same skill sits in many credentials. So what you confirm for your students is not a single checkmark — it counts everywhere that skill is needed.

one skill, three credentials

Verified once, valid everywhere

Once you confirm a skill, it counts in every credential that includes it — across subject and community boundaries. Your confirmation travels on with the learner.

Skills open jobs and learning paths

Because every credential breaks down into skills, SkillDisplay matches it against job openings and suggests learning resources for open gaps — concrete value for your students.

That’s the short version — and all of it is already live.

FAQ

Quick answers

What will it cost us later?

Educator access is and stays free. Costs only arise when a company or provider buys slots — never for educators and trainers.

Does it cost my students anything?

No. For learners, microcredentials are always free — they receive them directly on the website or in the app as soon as you confirm the learning objective they reached.

Why is this free for educators and students?

SkillDisplay grew out of an Erasmus+ project — with the mission to make education accessible through open, verifiable standards — and is recognised as an innovation by the Austrian IÖB. That is why access stays free for educators and learners forever. The system is carried by companies and providers who buy slots, and by sponsors who fund education — never by those who learn and teach.

How much effort is the switch?

You keep teaching as before and issue credentials to existing standards. Onboarding = form + verification, then you are ready right away.

What do my students get out of it?

They collect real, verifiable microcredentials to industry standard — proof that counts in the job market and eases the start of a career. Their skills are visible and verified from day one.

What if there is no standard for my subject yet?

Then the network starts it. Members of the SkillDisplay Educator Network draft a proposal for the missing skills. It is available immediately — clearly marked as a community proposal, so recognisably not yet official. Other educators can comment on it and suggest improvements. If interest is strong enough, SkillDisplay approaches the vendor to obtain an official, binding definition.
