Qualifications

Qualifications has its own section after IDs in the wallet and navigation, even when it is empty. It contains professional licenses, certifications, and apprenticeship, journeyman, and master certificates.

  • Existing credentials in their original automatic category move to Qualifications in the background after the account opens; account access does not wait for this scan. Successful scans are remembered for that account and cloud service. Unavailable credentials retry on the next app session, not on every account operation. Saved manual overrides, explicit credential categories, and custom Boost categories stay unchanged. Older choices without a manual-choice marker are treated as automatic defaults.

  • Qualification credentials default to an orange certificate frame with Qualifications corner glyphs; explicit display settings and recognized achievement types take precedence.

  • Colorful matches the other section shades: orange-300 Passport tiles and selected tabs, orange-400 page headers, orange-200 page backgrounds, and orange-500 count badges with dark text. Actions keep darker orange for readable contrast. Neutral Mode uses white backgrounds for all Passport categories in tile and list views, and keeps the Colorful Solid Color Qualifications glyph in both layouts. Other icon placements retain their theme-specific artwork. Colorful has a dedicated empty-state illustration; Formal keeps its shared empty-state placeholder. Credential image fallbacks also use Qualifications artwork instead of the Achievements trophy.

  • Click professional qualifications on the Qualifications page to open About Qualifications, with Qualifications artwork and a short explanation of professional licenses, certifications, and apprenticeship, journeyman, or master certificates.

  • Certificate previews keep the issuer's details and seal inside the frame, above the category label.

  • Expiration dates remain visible. An expired qualification stays in the account and can still be opened or shared.

  • Identification documents, such as passports and driver's licenses, remain in IDs.

  • Resumes keep Achievements alongside Qualifications. Existing saved section order, hidden sections, dates, and edited descriptions remain intact when an older resume is opened.

Self-Assigning Skills

  1. User opens the Skills Hub from their wallet

  2. Taps the + button to add skills

  3. Searches by skill name or occupation, or browses suggested skills across the available frameworks

  4. Selects one or more skills from a framework

  5. Sets a proficiency level for each skill:

    • Hidden — Do not display proficiency status

    • Novice — Just starting and needs guidance

    • Beginner — Handles simple tasks without support

    • Proficient — Works independently on routine tasks

    • Advanced — Solves complex tasks efficiently

    • Expert — Deep mastery; can lead and mentor others

  6. Saves the self-attested skills to their wallet

Self-assigned skills are self-attested credentials. They represent what a user claims about their own abilities. For third-party verified skills, see issued credentials from organizations.


Account Security & Recovery

Each account is controlled by a private key that never exists in one place: it is split into pieces held by the user's device, LearnCard's servers, and the user's recovery methods, and any two pieces are needed to sign in. Neither LearnCard nor a stolen phone alone can access the account.

After signing up, users are prompted to set up at least one recovery method:

Method
What it is

Passkey

Face ID, Touch ID, or a hardware key on the user's device

Recovery Phrase

A 24-word phrase the user writes down

Backup File

A password-protected file the user downloads

Email Backup

An encrypted backup sent to a verified email address

Signing in on a new device works either by scanning a QR code from a device that's already signed in, or by using one of the recovery methods. Recovery settings live under Account Recovery in the profile.

For how this works under the hood, see Key Management (SSS).
