Prove practical skill with peers, inside ikonskills.com

IKON SKILLS™ Community is the peer home for IKON Practitioners, feed, Groups by domain, chat, events, and a showcase for Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™). It is built into www.ikonskills.com. One account. One Practitioner ID. No separate Community login.

Most certificates prove you attended. IKON SKILLS™ proves you can do it. This is Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™), not seat time. Built for the emerging economies of the next 5 to 20 years, not an industrial-era attendance model.

How you earn points

Learning points — no daily or lifetime cap

  • Clear a Core Competency: 1 learning point, once for each Core Competency cleared at Competent or better.
  • Finish a Micro-Credential: 10 learning points, once per Micro-Credential finished.
  • Finish an Emerging Degree pathway: All required Micro-Credentials: Bachelor 100, Master 200, Doctor 400 learning points, once per degree. This rewards pathway completion; EIU-Paris issues the degree.

Activity points — 1 per day, 300 lifetime

  • Complete Profiling: 5 activity points once, exempt from the daily limit but included in the lifetime activity limit.
  • Share a validated social post: 0.1 activity points per checked link, maximum 1 per day.
  • Share your Skills Passport: 1 activity point, once every 7 days.
  • Publish a helpful Community post: 0.1 activity points. Original published text only.
  • Publish a helpful Community comment: 0.1 activity points; at least 20 characters, on another Practitioner’s post.
  • Finish IKON Challenge™: 0.1 activity points per server-graded Trivia or Scramble round. Reveal earns no credit. No Duo.

Levels and free Micro-Credentials

  • Learning comes first: Activity points can never make up more than 10% of your level points; learning always comes first. Levels also require completed Micro-Credentials and, for Mentor/Fellow, degree pathways.
  • Use learning points only: 200 spendable learning points unlock one free Micro-Credential, up to 20 per Practitioner. Spending never reduces lifetime level points. Points keep counting beyond 5,000.

Level requirements — meet both points and completed Micro-Credentials

  • IKON Starter: 100 level points + 2 completed Micro-Credentials.
  • IKON Builder: 250 level points + 5 completed Micro-Credentials.
  • IKON Specialist: 500 level points + 10 completed Micro-Credentials.
  • Master Practitioner: 1000 level points + 25 completed Micro-Credentials.
  • Senior Master: 2000 level points + 50 completed Micro-Credentials.
  • Mentor: 3000 level points + 100 completed Micro-Credentials + 1 Bachelor pathway.
  • Ambassador: 4000 level points + 150 completed Micro-Credentials.
  • IKON Fellow: 5000 level points + 200 completed Micro-Credentials + 1 Master pathway.

Recognition certificates with verification QR codes are issued automatically from Master Practitioner up. The same rules apply to direct, affiliate, white-label, company, organization and sponsor-code Practitioners. Owner and QA accounts earn zero. Only work done counts.
