Personalized Learning Paths with POK – Connect micro-credentials and boost professional development

lp

In a world where skills are updated faster than degrees, institutions and companies need to show not only what is learned, but how that learning is built.
With POK – Proof of Knowledge, Learning Paths turn training into a structured, motivating, and certified experience, connecting micro-credentials and certificates in a path that drives employability, engagement, and institutional prestige.

What is a Learning Path in POK?

A Learning Path is a personalized training journey, made up of different modules, courses, or experiences, where each milestone is validated with a verifiable NFT digital micro-credential.
When the student or employee completes all steps, they receive a final credential that certifies the full set of acquired skills.

Example:

  • Module 1: Fundamentals of Data Science Course → Micro-credential “Data Science Fundamentals”
  • Module 2: Python for Data Analysis Workshop → Micro-credential “Python Data Analysis”
  • Module 3: Practical Project → Micro-credential “Applied Data Science Project”
  • Final Credential: “Data Science Professional” – automatically issued upon completion of all milestones.


Value for your institution or company


  1. Clarity and motivation for learners:
    • The student can always see what has been achieved and what remains to be completed.
    • Each intermediate credential acts as a visual and emotional “checkpoint.”
  2. Gamification and sustained engagement
    • Micro-credentials act as immediate rewards.
    • They encourage completion of programs with high dropout rates (e.g., online courses).
    • Option to add special badges for extra achievements, perfect attendance, or outstanding performance.
  3. Greater employability and professional visibility
    • Intermediate credentials can be published on LinkedIn and other networks before finishing the entire program.
    • This creates job opportunities even before earning the final diploma.
  4. Flexible and inclusive learning
    • Combines online courses, in-person classes, and practical experiences.
    • Allows alternative pathways based on profile, language, or specialization.
    • Adapts to different learning paces.

Frequently asked questions

The free (Web2) version of POK is perfect for those who want to start without costs or restrictions. It allows issuing and verifying unlimited digital credentials with custom design and compatibility with open standards. Verification is done via a unique link or QR code, and the credential remains active indefinitely.

The NFT (Public Blockchain) version goes further: each credential becomes a unique and unalterable Non-Fungible Token, registered on a public blockchain. This enables:

  • Decentralized verification without relying on the platform.
  • Historical traceability showing when and by whom it was issued.
  • Digital ownership for the recipient, who can store it in their wallet and display it on professional networks.


Both versions are compatible, and you can migrate credentials from Web2 to NFT at any time without reissuing or losing history.

The implementation of POK is fast and frictionless.

In most cases, institutions can start issuing credentials the same day they create their account. The basic flow is:

  • Create the account and set up the organization’s profile (logo, legal details, templates)
  • Upload the recipient list or integrate with the LMS/CRM
  • Issue the first credential and enable its verification


If advanced integration via API or connection with internal systems is required, the time will depend on the technical complexity, but our team supports the process with guides, support, and onboarding sessions.

POK offers a transparent and flexible pricing model:

  • In the free (Web2) version, you can issue and verify unlimited digital credentials at no cost, without expiration, and without commitment to stay
  • In the NFT (Public Blockchain) version, you purchase credential packages based on your needs, with no minimum obligation and no credit expiration


This means you can acquire only what you need, at your own pace, avoiding unnecessary fixed costs. The price per credential includes blockchain registration, with no hidden fees or surprises due to “gas fee” variations.

This model adapts to both institutions issuing few credentials per year and large universities or corporations needing to issue thousands.
