red course, orange track, yellow journey

A red-edged (now black-edged) circular shield indicates an individual course that was successfully taken and passed. Multiple courses can be undertaken to complete a track: the orange-edged shield. Multiple tracks can be undertaken to complete an Aspire journey: the metallic red/blue-edged (formerly yellow-edged) shield.

Structures of Other Courses

Skillsoft's long list of badges doesn't provide any sense of structure, hierarchy, navigation, or how things were achieved. It's an interface that doesn't scale, rather like comparing the Windows 11 Start Menu to the earlier, better, Windows 10 menu that it replaced. So, here are some of my own structured Aspire journey paths, detailing the courses taken to build the tracks that built the journeys.
