You can create achievements that can be shared with other users in other units, or restricted to the unit. If you restrict the achievement, it can only be added to the unit offering in which you create the achievement, and any child offerings of that unit.

1. Within the unit, do one of the following:
   • On the navbar, click Unit Admin -> Achievements.
   • Click Unit Admin. From the Assessments area, select Achievements.
2. Click Add Achievement to Unit.
3. Click Create Achievement.
4. Enter a name and description for the new achievement.
5. Select an achievement type from the drop-down list.
6. Select the appropriate check boxes to indicate if you want the achievement to be available to other achievement managers, and where it is available within the org structure.
7. Select the expiry options:
   • If the achievement will not expire, select Never. Examples of achievements that never expire are certificates of merit for passing a unit, or badges for perfect attendance.
   • If the achievement will expire on a specific date, select Fixed date. Examples of achievements that will expire on a specific date are certifications for a skill that must be renewed, such as first aid training.
   • If the achievement will expire on a day relative to the day the achievement was granted, select Relative Day of the Month. Examples of achievements that expire on a relative date are badges for Learner of the Week or for having achieved 100% on a test or assignment.
8. If you want to notify the achievement recipient before an achievement expires, select the check box and indicate the number of days of lead time.
