5. How Points Contribute to Levels & Ranks #
Leveling up at Happy Teachers Academy (HTA) is primarily based on achievements—earning skill badges, mastering competencies, and engaging with the community. However, points also play a role and can contribute to progression.
How It Works: #
- Achievements are the main way to level up. Unlocking badges and reaching milestones moves you up the ranks.
- Points serve as additional progress. In some cases, accumulating a certain number of points can help meet the requirements for the next level.
- Users should check level requirements to understand whether they need a combination of achievements and points to advance.
