What IKON SKILLS™ provides

IKON SKILLS™ offers Proof of Practical Skill (PPS™) Micro-Credentials. Every Micro-Credential has 10 Core Competencies and 10 ECTS. When you finish a Micro-Credential, IKON SKILLS™ issues a Certificate of Mastery for that Micro-Credential only.

IKON SKILLS™ does not issue Emerging Degrees or Brand Leadership certifications as university documents. Those documents, university enrollment, and student ID numbers come from European International University, EIU-Paris on the EIU-Paris site when you follow that path. See Fees.

Fees on this site

The list price for each Micro-Credential on IKON SKILLS™ is USD 14.99. No extra card fee is added on this platform. Card checkout (Stripe) will be enabled later. Complimentary or redeem codes may unlock a Micro-Credential without payment when we issue them.

Your responsibilities

  • Give true account details and keep your login safe.
  • Submit your own work on scenarios and the Final Scenario Assessment.
  • Treat other Practitioners with respect in the community.
  • Do not try to break, scrape, or misuse the platform.

Mastery and integrity

Mastery means 75% or above on each Core Competency. We may review unusual patterns to protect fair assessment. Certificates of Mastery can be verified on this site. Revocation is rare and only for serious integrity issues.

Content use and automated access

Your account gives you personal access to your Learning Journey. It does not give you permission to copy, publish, sell, redistribute, or build another service from our Core Competency content, scenarios, assessments, or illustrations.

Do not scrape, bulk-download, harvest, or use automated tools to extract content. Do not share your account or bypass sign-in, access controls, or rate limits. Training a model on this content requires our prior written permission. Ordinary browsing and assistive technology for your own access are welcome.

We may limit requests or suspend access when necessary to protect Practitioners and our content. Your own submissions remain yours. Rights permitted by applicable law are not restricted by these terms.

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.
