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.

FAQs
How many skills can I tag on one event?
You can tag multiple skills per event. Choose skills that genuinely relate to the learning outcomes.
Do skills automatically update when learners attend?
This depends on your configuration. Some setups update skills automatically on completion.
Can I use custom skills?
Yes, if your company has custom skills configured, they appear alongside standard skills.
Does skill tagging affect event visibility?
No, skill tags are for categorisation and discovery. Visibility is controlled separately.
Can learners suggest skills for events?
Typically, only administrators can tag skills. Learners can provide feedback through other channels.
How do skills appear in reporting?
Skills data can be included in competency reports showing which events developed which skills.
