Find the part that is about you.
Three roles, three jobs. Each section covers what to do and — deliberately — what this app will not do for you, because finding that out at the wrong moment is worse than reading it now.
You were invited by email and you are working through a program.
Start here
This measures what you can show, not how long you sat
There is no attendance credit here. You move forward by producing evidence, which means the time it takes you is yours rather than the schedule's. Bring a record of what you have already done and you will do less. Answer in a way that leaves a question open and you will get more questions, not a lower mark. This runs alongside your hands-on training rather than replacing it — the technique you learn in the shop, the lab, or the placement.
Getting started
There is nothing to install. You sign in with the LER.me account that holds your wallet.
01Open your link and sign in with LER.me
The link says which assessment is yours. Signing in with LER.me proves it is you — and it is the same account your badge is issued to at the end, so the credential lands in the wallet you already hold.
- Your LER.me account does not have to use the address you were invited at. Sign in with whichever account holds your wallet — that is the one your badge goes to.
- Once you claim a link it belongs to you. Nobody else can use it, even if they have it.
- Links expire, usually after 30 days. Whatever you already answered stays safe.
02Work at your own pace
Your answers save one at a time, as you go. Close the laptop mid-question and come back to the same link a week later; nothing is lost.
03Bring what you already have
If you hold a certificate or a digital badge — OSHA 10, ServSafe, a CNA, anything issued to you — upload it before you start. A signed credential can shorten the program.
- A signed credential with a level shortens modules up to that level.
- A signed completion certificate counts up to Developing. It says you did the thing, not how well.
- A résumé is read to tailor the scenarios you see. It does not shorten anything, because nobody signed it.
Working through it
Each module teaches, then asks you to show what you took from it.
01Read the four levels and be honest about where you are
Every skill is described at four levels. Find the one that sounds like you on an ordinary day, not your best day. The point of a module is to move one step, and you cannot move from a rung you are not standing on.
02Rate yourself against the descriptions, not a feeling
Where you score your own work, pick the written description that matches what you actually did — the one that would still be true if someone had been watching. An inflated rating buys a number and costs you the practice you needed.
03Expect extra questions in places
If your answers leave a skill sitting on the line, the program adds items rather than guessing. This is not a penalty and it is not a sign you are failing. It means the evidence is not yet clear enough to put a level on, and reporting one anyway would be worse for you than answering three more questions.
04Skip what is already settled
When a skill is clearly decided by what you have already done, you will be told you can move on. Working it anyway is fine if you want the practice; it will not change your result.
Finishing and your badge
Submitting is final, and you can submit before everything is settled.
01Submit when you are ready
You will be told which areas are still unsettled before you confirm. Submitting with some unsettled is allowed — those levels are marked provisional rather than presented as findings.
02Get your capstone looked at
You can finish everything alone. The capstone is the one place a second person changes the claim: it is the artifact an employer would look at. Without one, your result says the capstone was self-verified, which is honest rather than fatal.
03Your badge is yours
The outcome is issued as a verifiable credential to your LER Wallet. It names the sector, your readiness level, and every skill you evidenced at or above the entry bar. You carry it; an employer can check it without contacting the program.
What this will not do for you
Worth knowing now rather than at the moment it matters.
Your self-ratings never become your score
Where you rate yourself on the four levels as a reflection, that rating is recorded and carries zero weight. It sits next to what you actually showed so a coach can see the gap. That gap is useful; it is not a mark.
A low result in some areas may be about opportunity
Leadership, fortitude, and creativity are marked opportunity-limited when they come out low. Most people evidence those once somebody gives them the chance — a shift to run, a decision to own. A low result there is a statement about what you have been asked to do so far, not about what you can do.
It does not teach you the hands-on technique
How to transfer a patient, disinfect a scope, or run a weld you learn by doing it under supervision. What this builds is the judgment around that work — the standard it has to meet, what gets checked, what the next person needs from you — and it measures whether you have the technique. Where your program has attached its own training, you will see it inside the relevant modules.
It does not teach the hands-on technique
Transferring a patient, disinfecting equipment, running a weld — you learn those by doing them under someone's supervision. This program builds the judgment around the task, checks whether you have the technique, and points at the training your program has attached.
This does not predict whether you get hired
A readiness level is an inference from evidence. It has not been followed through to placement outcomes, and anyone telling you it guarantees a job is overselling it.
Questions that come up
- Why do I have to sign in?
- So the badge at the end is yours. It is issued to the LER.me wallet held under the account you signed in with, and signing in is what lets anyone later say the work was done by you rather than by whoever held the link.
- Can I retake it?
- Not on the same link — submitting closes the attempt. Ask whoever invited you; they can issue a new one, which rotates the link and starts a fresh attempt.
- Will my employer see my answers?
- Whoever invited you sees your results and which areas are unsettled. They do not see your individual answers as a transcript. Reporting above that level carries no names at all.
- How long does it really take?
- Fifteen to twenty hours is the planning figure for this program, for someone starting from nothing. Bring a credential and it is less. If your evidence is unclear in places, it is more. That figure does not include learning the hands-on technique for your sector — that happens in your shop, lab, or placement, and this measures it rather than teaching it.
- I got questions nobody else got.
- Two things are personal to you: extra items where your evidence needed settling, and the order everything appears in. The order is shuffled per person deliberately.
