How the academy works
Tech Academy is open: every member of LearnerMap Academy can find its courses and join it by starting one. Its instructors write and publish the courses, post announcements to the people taking them and grade any coursework.
Each course is a short sequence of lessons followed by a quiz. Pass the quiz and the course is complete, with a certificate on your record; if you don’t pass, review the lessons and try again.
Learning with LearnerMap Academy
LearnerMap Academy runs its learning on LearnerMap, a free platform for organisations. Every course here is free for members of LearnerMap Academy: sign in with the email address LearnerMap Academy knows you by, or with a passkey, and the course opens in your own plan.
Your plan holds at most 3 courses in progress at a time, so you finish what you start before pulling in the next one. Lessons open in order, your progress is saved as you complete each one, and every course ends with a quiz; passing it adds a certificate to your record.
Not a member yet? Ask LearnerMap Academy to invite you. Lesson content, quizzes and everyone’s progress stay private to members; these public pages show only what LearnerMap Academy chose to publish.
