Tagging Events with Skills

Tagging Events with Skills

Overview

Tagging Events with Skills connects your training events to competency frameworks. When learners attend skill-tagged events, they can develop and demonstrate competencies tracked within Learn Amp's skills system.

This integration supports competency-based learning and helps organisations track skill development through live training.
