Practitioners, IKON SKILLS™ 2.0 Is Live. Try the First Core Competency Free

If you have been waiting for a clear way to prove what you can do at work, today is the day.

IKON SKILLS™ 2.0 is officially live at www.ikonskills.com. This launch is for Practitioners. It is for people who want proof that they can do the work, not a certificate that only shows they attended.

Try the first Core Competency of any of our 1,013 Micro-Credentials free. Then let’s join hands to grow the Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™) movement.

This article is the Practitioner community view of the IKON SKILLS™ 2.0 launch. The original announcement is at affective-teaching.com.

Built for Practitioners, not for sitting through videos

IKON SKILLS™ is a 100% AI-native Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™) Micro-Credential and Competency Verification system. You prove real skill with workplace scenarios, not by sitting through videos. IKO, the AI guide, is on the platform with you. Mastery is set at 75%.

Accessibility is built in, so you can work in a way that fits you. That includes light and dark modes, larger text, high contrast, reduced motion, and a dyslexia-friendly font.

Most certificates prove you attended. IKON SKILLS™ proves you can do it. That is the standard this community is invited to grow.

How you start today

You do not have to buy a full Micro-Credential to begin. Try the first Core Competency of any of our 1,013 Micro-Credentials free. Start the first Core Competency at no charge. Unlock the other nine for USD 14.99 when you are ready. Score 75% or higher to earn your digital badge and Certificate of Mastery, issued in English.

Here is how the free try works:

1. Open a Micro-Credential page. Anyone can watch the overview video and see the 10 Core Competencies without an account. Browse the catalog at www.ikonskills.com/micro-credentials.
2. Select “Try the first Core Competency free” and create a free account with email and password, or with Google.
3. Complete the full first Core Competency. You work through workplace scenarios and show Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™).
4. Unlock the remaining nine for USD 14.99 whenever you are ready. You can also buy the full Micro-Credential straight away if you prefer.

What Practitioners can use in the rebuilt catalog

The whole catalog has been rebuilt. Each Micro-Credential is built to its EQF level and carries 10 ECTS. Here is what is live today:

• 1,013 Micro-Credentials across 40 domains, with 10 Core Competencies in each, and 10,130 Core Competencies in total.
• A free first Core Competency on every Micro-Credential, and a flat USD 14.99, paid once, to unlock the rest.
• A digital badge and a Certificate of Mastery for every mastered Micro-Credential.
• Emerging Degree pathways on the dashboard. You can pick one of 152 Emerging Degrees conferred by European International University, EIU-Paris, or build your own stack (Bachelor 18 Micro-Credentials, Master 24, Doctor of Professional Practice 36).

IKON SKILLS™ is endorsed by European International University, EIU-Paris. Accreditations and rankings are held by EIU-Paris. IKON SKILLS™ verifies the skill. EIU-Paris confers the Emerging Degree.

Grow this movement together

Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™) is bigger than one certificate. It is a community standard: show what you can do, in clear and honest terms.

Pick one Micro-Credential that matches the skill you want to prove. Try the first Core Competency free at www.ikonskills.com. Then tell another Practitioner. That is how a movement grows.

Let’s join hands to grow the Proof of Practical Skill movement.
