The optional fields you can add to your credential detail includes: Credential Type, Duration, Cost, Level, Earning Criteria, Expiry Date, and Supporting Documents.
Credential Type
The first optional field is the Credential Type, where you can select the type of achievement this credential represents. This helps to further clarify the nature of the credential, whether it’s for completing a course, attending a workshop, mastering a specific skill, or any other accomplishment.
Duration
The Duration field allows you to specify the total length of time for the event or activity associated with the credential. This includes all sessions, breaks, and any other relevant timeframes. You can enter the duration in hours, days, or weeks, depending on the structure of the event. Providing this information ensures that recipients and other viewers understand the time commitment involved in earning the credential.
Cost
In the Cost field, indicate whether the event is free to attend or requires a payment. This helps clarify whether participants had to invest financially to complete the event or training.
Level
The Level field allows you to select the appropriate level of the course or event. This typically indicates the difficulty of the course and the prior knowledge required to participate. The levels range from Beginner to Professional. Choosing the correct level ensures that recipients and potential employers or stakeholders can quickly assess the skill level and expertise demonstrated by the credential.
Earning Criteria
The Earning Criteria field is where you describe the specific criteria or requirements that must be met to earn the credential.

After this date, the credential will remain accessible but will display an ‘Expired’ banner to indicate that it is no longer valid.
