Qualification types are a way to organize your learning material into different categories. For example, perhaps the people in your organization need to operate different types of vehicles (forklifts, cranes, trucks). You could create a qualification type for Vehicle Operations and then create qualification pathways for Forklift Operator Qualification, Crane Operator Qualification, and so on. Qualification types must be defined before the learning admin can create qualifications and build qualification pathways. Qualification types are helpful in reporting and searching.
