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.
Learners can easily navigate through their earned achievements and filter between those they have already earned and those they are yet to achieve using ‘Earned’ or ‘All’ filters.
The 'All' filter shows all credentials you can possibly earn with OffSec, regardless if you've earned them or not. The credentials you earned will be active. The credentials you have yet to earn will be grayed out. Click on anything grayed out, and it'll take you to the course, learning path or skill path you need to complete to earn it.
