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.

Go to the Redeem page, type the code you got from a sponsor, Business Development Partner or community reward, and press Redeem. If the code is valid, that Micro-Credential unlocks at once with no payment. This is not the same as using your points.

When you have 200 spendable learning points, open your Dashboard. In the Your points section, open Redeem and points. Choose a Micro-Credential and confirm the unlock. 200 learning points are spent. Lifetime level points never decrease. Activity points cannot buy Micro-Credentials. No code is needed.

Both count. Your Final Scenario Assessment is about 80% of the Core Competency result, and Reflection is about 20%. You need 75% or above on the combined result to be Competent. Language quality is never scored. You may retry as often as you need. Your best score on each part is the one that counts.

IKON SKILLS™ issues a Certificate of Mastery for each finished Micro-Credential. You can open a verify link from My Certificates or from the certificate page to show Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™).

You stack Micro-Credentials on IKON SKILLS™ toward an Emerging Degree path. European International University, EIU-Paris assigns your real student ID number and issues the Emerging Degree documents on its own site.

Yes. After you sign up with email, you complete your profile on the dashboard before learning starts. Use your legal name exactly as it should appear on your Certificate of Mastery.

Each Micro-Credential costs a flat USD 14.99 on IKON SKILLS™. That unlocks the full learning journey for that Micro-Credential. University enrollment and credential fees are paid to EIU-Paris on its own site, not here.
