Self-assess a Skill (learner)

SkillsUpdated September 24, 2026

Learners can self-assess a skill by taking a short quiz. This article covers the learner flow.

Before you start

You need to be signed in. The skill must have a self-assessment attached — not every skill does.

Step 1 — Open My Skills

Open My Skills from your sidebar. The Available self-assessments section lists every skill you could earn or upgrade by taking a short quiz.

My Skills is the learner's own view of what they have proven so far.

Step 2 — Take the quiz

Click a skill card to start. The quiz is timed and pulled from the same QuestionBank the admin defined — same rules as any course assessment. Answer, submit, and see your score immediately.

The builder combines the settings panel and the question list on a single screen.

Step 3 — How the grant lands

If you scored above the threshold, the skill is granted at the matching level. It appears in your Skills list with a source of self-assessment and an expiration date. Retake at any time to bump the level or refresh the expiry.

Notes

  • Only auto-gradable question types are used in self-assessments.
  • Self-assessment grants expire on the schedule the admin set — the daily reaper handles cleanup.
