Why do Skill Badges expire?

Skills need regular refreshers to stay effective. Expiry ensures badges reflect current knowledge, not outdated learning.

What happens when a badge expires?

  • Expired badges are hidden from employers

  • Your progress is saved

  • You can restore the badge anytime by completing a refresher

How do I refresh a badge?

Refreshing is quick:

  • Review updated flashcards

  • Complete a short quiz

  • Your badge becomes active again

Refreshing also helps you progress further in that skill.

Will employers see expired badges?

No. Only active, refreshed badges are shown to employers.
