If you're unsure where to begin your journey, start with the self-assessment feature to identify your current competencies and determine which skills make the most sense to explore first.
From the Sage Skills: Business or Sage Skills: Student Success homepage, click the Begin Self-Assessment button below the list of the five modules. This will direct you to a page where you will select which module you'd like to begin a self-assessment for.
Once you've selected the module you'd like to start with, you can then choose to take a self-assessment for the entire module or for a specific skill within the module.
Within the self-assessment you will select the button that best describes you for each of the statements listed. The options are: Strongly Like Me, Like Me, Unlike Me, and Strongly Unlike Me.
You'll also see the ability to download a PDF, share a link to the self-assessment via email, embed, or get a permalink to the self-assessment.
After you've completed the full assessment, click Submit to View Feedback at the bottom of the page. This will direct you to your self-assessment results, which will show your confidence level as it relates to each of the skills in the module.
You can download your results as a PDF, share them via email, or save them to the Self-Assessments section of your Sage Knowledge profile using the Add to List option. Saving your results to your profile will allow you to access them at any time and will enable you to compare self-assessment results to see your confidence levels grow and change over time.
