What is the Achievements Page?
The Achievements Page is a dedicated space designed to highlight and celebrate your achievements with OffSec. It serves as a dynamic showcase of OffSec certifications, badges, and pins, highlighting both the achievements you've already earned as well as those that are yet to be earned.
Where can I view and access my Achievements Page?
To view and access your Achievements Page, go through the following steps:
- Login to your OffSec Learning Library account.
- From the left navigation, you will see ‘Achievements’.
- Click on it and you will be redirected to the Achievements page.
How does the Achievements Page work?
The Achievements Page provides learners with a visual representation of their accomplishments in the form of badges, certificates, pins. For ease of use, when we refer to all badges, certificates and pins together, we will call them credentials.
If you have newly eligible badges or pins that can be generated, these credentials will appear with a pulsating animation on your Achievements Page.
When you land on the page and have credentials ready to generate, a modal will appear with the message:
Congratulations, you seem to have earned new credentials!
Click on the pulsating icons to claim your achievements and generate your Certificate of Completion.
Clicking a pulsating credential allows you to generate and claim it immediately.
To view either your earned credentials or those you’ve yet to achieve, simply toggle between the following filters:
- Earned – shows only the credentials you have already achieved.
All – shows all available OffSec credentials, both earned and unearned.
Earned achievements appear pulsated, while unearned ones are grayed out. Clicking a grayed-out credential will direct you to the course, learning path, or skill path required to earn it.
